Support the 15th Children's Poetry Festival, Manyula
Donation protected
The International Children's Poetry Festival, Manyula, has been held
in El Salvador every November since 2010. Bilingual published authors
and poets from the United States and El Salvador conduct presentations
and writing workshops for Salvadoran children and youth.
The children that attend love to read books, write stories and dream
big for a better future. Unfortunately, many are from rural areas
where their parents work hard to provide for them and often there is
not enough money to buy books or school supplies.
This Children Poetry Festival brings hope to more than a thousand
children in the country. They are exposed to children's books, poetry
and author presentations. Each child receives a festival tote bag with
school supplies and gifts. A delicious lunch is also provided during
the Fiesta Educativa.
Your collaboration will help us to organize and make the 15th
International Children's Poetry Festival, Manyula possible.
What We Need
The 15th Children's Poetry Festival is fundraising for $5,000. This
money will help us purchase the gifts that each child will receive
including books, supplies and snacks. Children will be grateful for
your collaboration.
Please consider making a donation in any amount.
The Impact
The 15th International Children’s Poetry Festival, Manyula will help
children to discover the world of poetry. The festival will give
children books, poems and a wonderful experience with the literary
world. We encourage children to dream big as we promote the importance
of education.
