Guatemala celebrates Children's Day on October 1st. Our reading promoters spontaneously read stories that day to children at this large community gathering. And a spark was lit in parents who saw for the first time the joy reading gives their children.
The girls parade in.
Daniel and the teens address the crowd.
Laura awaits her cue as Luis reads a story and Julio Cesar looks on.
Daniel reacts as Olivia and Victor play the parts of Lion and Mouse in Aesop's fable read by Antonio.
Sticking around to enjoy some books on their own.
Antonio offers some personal attention. Olivia in back does the same.
