Interesting commentary on tablets in the classroom (vs readers).

My third graders started swiping and stopped talking.

Lots of news from MOHI

Library My excitement over the completion of the new library is beyond containment. To see the teachers and students embrace this new resource is totally exhilarating! Right away, one of our high school teachers brought his class to the library to read and then have discussion about what they read.…

This is sooooo exciting!!! Our high school students are in LOVE with the library! One of our high school teachers had his class go to the library and then he sat down with them to talk about the book they were reading.

What we at Books for Haiti are hoping for, for these and all of Haiti's children. Congratulations on getting this wonderful space up and running!

If we can get kids interested in the library, it will cut down on "idle hands" time - alleviating poor behavior while encouraging a forever learning behavior. Hmmmmmm...

Interesting perspective from Dominica on use of tablets in schools. It's a tough decision for schools and organizations like ours - "better" technology, or strictly educational devices? Of course, if you love reading as much as WE do, a simple reader can be the gateway to the universe!

As this Summer closes out, Bob and I are planning a final (?) trip to Haiti to deliver Kindles to Healing Haiti's Grace Village school. The trip will also include update visits to Mission of Hope International and to the SOPUDEP school, to assess the success of this project to date.

All of our partner schools have evolved tremendously over the past two years; it will be exciting to see their progress!

Despite family changes and commitments, the Ende/Reid family organization is still trying to complete our projects in Haiti. If you are able to assist with the funding for a Kindle or two (or part of one!) we will be able to move toward this goal more quickly. The schools are still in need, and still interested in pursuing this wonderful technology so that they have access to free French and English literature. Thanks for your continued interest in Books for Haiti!
