Book fair project update

As some of you will recall, our October book fair raised money for an education project in Liberia. I thought you'd like to read about some of the achievements of the project:

· One hundred and sixty four teachers have improved their teaching skills through in-service training – improving the quality of learning for over 8,000 children.
· Three new libraries have been established, 12 libraries have been re-stocked, and teachers and librarians have been trained to develop a reading culture in pupils and local communities.
· Parent Teacher Associations are established and influencing improvements in 12 schools.
