A new way to recycle

Ok, so it might cost you a little more, but instead of throwing all those magazines and newspapers in the recycling bin, why not send them down to Nicaragua (make a tax-deductible donation)? 

A big THANK YOU to all who have already contributed to our "Library".  My students were so happy today when I showed up with a box full of newspapers, magazines, and books (all in English).  One student picked up a newspaper page and pointed to the date and said "Look it's from now!" (noting that it was June, 2012).  That was pretty cute :)

I know these things are kinda heavy, but these kids (and teachers) really need English resources.  It is very difficult to find English reading material and any sort of reading material is usually fairly expensive.  I created a small "library" to keep in class so students can borrow a material and bring it back the next day (newspaper & magazines) or the next week (books).  If you'd like to send some books, really any level would be great.  We have quite a range of English levels, but probably the majority would be middle/high school level books. 

Thanks so much for considering helping out some students and teachers here to improve their English skills and give them hope for a better job in the future.
