"A book is a dream you hold on your hands. Be part of that dream"
After all the research we have done, our team has decided to take action! The force moving us is
"Think globally, act locally", so we have launched a campaign to get books for children without resources!
If each one of the students in The Cabrera Pinto High School donates one book, we will get more than 500 books! We are asking for books that have been read, enjoyed, and that are in a nice condition.
Once we get the books, we are going to offer them to different charities: Spanish Red Cross, Aldeas Infantiles and Caritas.
We hope all the books will have reached children and young people by 23rd of April, and they can all celebrate this day, reading a book!
This is the poster we have created to promote our campaign. First, we contacted different charities to see if they would like to help us deliver the books, next our group informed all the students in our High
School, and solidarity boxes have been placed in all the classrooms. Just just now all of us are busy looking for books we have read when we were younger, and that we would like other children to have.
We are all encouraged to write something on the first page of the book, to pass a message on to the child receiving it!
We decided to start up this campaign after we read about child poverty in the Canary Islands! We are at the top of the regions where children are suffering the most.
We were really impressed by the report that has recently been published by Cáritas. It pointed out that there are many homes in the Canary Islands where there are fewer than 50 books! We are fighting for equality in education, trying to help children who are suffering hard economical crisis, and finally, we are trying to promote solidarity among all our mates!
Our final goal is getting as many children reading as we can. It is a really enjoyable way of dreaming and learning!
