With the news that over $2,000 worth of books have been purchased so far for the community center El Buen Samaritano we are so grateful for the Global read Aloud. From penny drives to business days, we love what so many kids are doing to support this community center and truly make a difference in the lives of these 60 kids.
Every week, we will feature one of the children that the GRA Gives Back campaign is trying to help with its partnership with Palms & Souls. We hope that these stories will show you the very real impact that our project can have for these children in Guatemala. If you missed the partnership announcement or need ideas for how you can help, please see this post.
