BOOK DRIVE

Over the next two months (May - June 20th), we are holding book drives to collect donations of new or lightly used books for the library. Picture books would be awesome but children's story books are good too! For ages 0 years - teens! Books in Spanish are preferred but we appreciate all donations.

In Ontario     - send or drop off at 356 Friarhill Crescent, Kingston, ON K7M 8P5

In BC            - send or drop off at 6729 Meadow Dr Agassiz, BC, V0M 1A3

In Alberta     - send or drop off at 166 Pacific Crescent, Fort Mc Murray, AB, T9K 0E7

After June 20th all donations can be sent to the BC location listed above.

I am excited to announce a partnership with SalvAide Canada who will assist with the long-term sustainability of the project by administering donations to the program. They have already provided support and guidance on how to best establish a successul development project in El Salvador. A big THANK YOU to Rene Salazar, Executive Director and also to the board of directors for your support our this project!
