of all that we have done for them. In their admissions booklet, they
state that they have an alliance with St. Andrew's School in
Mississippi.

<<Honduras - June '09 018.jpg>> s - I was so excited to walk into the
bilingual school and find the books all unpacked and displayed neatly on
bookshelves. Although it was the last day of school, the room was
filled with children reading the books. They were so excited to have the
books...like children with new toys! The books have not been cataloged,
but were arranged by reading level. There is a huge selection of
Dr.Seuss books! I'll email more pictures in a separate email. Take
care! Ann
