Help me bring reading to the less fortunate.

Since 2018 I have been reading to the children of my village, in the Dominican Republic, because I realized that in our country there is a high level of illiteracy due to the little culture of reading. While I was investigating the possibilities of buying books for my project, “El tablazo lee”, (because the libraries have disappeared and the children of the countryside have no way to borrow books), I visited some bookstores and the prices I saw showed me one of the most important reasons about why the people of the countryside where I was born find it difficult or even impossible to acquire a book for their children. Books are extremely expensive. They would have to choose between eating or reading. Books should be a necessity that can be purchased at an affordable price. In the countryside there are few spaces where reading is promoted as a social and dynamic act. For that reason I started building bookshelves that I place in Family homes, the families donate space in their houses for my project. I already have seven bookshelves around the countryside where the children have access to the books. I need donations of money to be able to send boxes of books to my country, to build bookshelves and be able to travel there and put the children's books in the children's hands while I form more reading points. Please could you help me help them.




Desde el 2018 vengo leyéndole a los niños de los  campos de mi pueblo, porque me di cuenta de que en nuestro país existe un alto nivel de analfabetismo debido a la poca cultura de leer. Mientras investigaba las posibilidades de comprar libros para mi proyecto, “El tablazo lee”, porque las bibliotecas han desaparecido y los niños del campo no tienen manera de conseguir libros prestados, visité algunas librerías y los precios que ví me mostraron una de las razones más crudas de  por qué a los habitantes del campo donde nací se les hace difícil o hasta imposible adquirir un libro para sus hijos. Tendrían que elegir entre comer o leer. Los libros deben ser una necesidad que se pueda adquirir a un precio accesible. En el campo existen pocas casas donde haya  personas a quienes se les lea o que lean, pocos espacios donde se promueve la lectura como un acto social y dinámico.  Por esa razón empecé a pedir libros y a construir libreros que coloco en hogares que me donan espacios. Ya tengo siete libreros dónde los niños del campo tienen acceso a leer. Necesito donación de dinero para poder enviar las cajas de libros a mi país, para construir los libreros y para poder viajar allá y poner los libros en las manos de los niños, mientras formo más puntos de lectura. ¿Me ayudas a ayudar?❤️
