I like to read because it opens up a world of ideas. ~Ian
Our program had created and aims to create libraries at participating schools in need, provide children with access to reading materials in their native language and set up a motivational system - Disney toys as prizes! (Things that they would never have dreamed of even seeing). Children in our partnered schools participate by following four easy steps:
Our program is based on some very successful literacy program in the US. The purpose of our program is to expand the benefits, and the love for read to children in Colombia. |
Our goal is to help teach children the joys of reading and to motivate them towards a life of learning and success

Why do we do It?
Our parents taught us that a good book is like a good a friend. If we are smart at choosing them and cherish them correctly we can learn much from them.This is what we hope to teach the children participating in the program. We have lived in Orlando, Florida for as long as we can remember and the magic of Disney has been an integral part in our lives. The children in our program do not even dream about having the possibility to experience even the smallest amount of the Disney Magic. We sought to bring them some. After all, what better way to encourage these children to discover the hidden magic of books than to provide them with little bits of our own homegrown magic as a reward for their hard work.
