Student Projects
Along with fundraising and sending books overseas, our students learn about the cultures of our partner schools. These project pages showcase some of the work students have completed through the years.
During the 2016-17 we plan to expand our activities to include videos about our schools & cultures, languages we speak, games we play, songs we sing, and of course, books we love to read!
