Saturday Reading Club

Reading and writing can be a difficult part of school for all children, but more so for those who do not have a chance to read at home. Many of the children we work with have illiterate parents, and need extra encouragement and support. Giving them a strong reading foundation provides strength and stability for the child's success in school and in life.

The Saturday Reading Club has become an integral part of the services we offer for our sponsored children. Because the majority of the children have never previously been to school, they face more challenges than other children of the same age. The children are placed in groups of 15, allowing them to receive more focused attention from our staff in hopes that the extra help with reading and writing will elevate them to the same academic level as their peers at school. The club also allows time for the arts, puzzles, and games.
