International Project 

The International Project selected for this year is  Money for Ghana’s  School Supplies.

A group of teachers from the US will be going to visit Ghana this summer to work with the teachers and the students there.  They have school supplies and books that have been donated to take with them.  Unfortunately the cost of taking suitcases filled with these items is about $250 per suitcase.  We are going to be collecting money, in a suitcase, at all of our events this year to help defray the cost of taking a suitcase to Ghana. Then at our Spring Banquet we will be raffling off the suitcase!

Participating in an international project is one of the International Reading Association’s requirements to receive Honor Council status.  This year the Board thought some of our members would like to participate by personally contributing to the project.  Bring your pennies, dimes and dollars to help build supply books and school supplies to a needy area.
