Outreach reading projects for rural Mexican kids.

Libros para Todos hosted its third annual summer camp last week at the beautiful Bellas Artes building in San Miguel de Allende.  Twenty four children between the ages or 10 and 14 spent five days developing their creativity through theater, writing, and drawing.  The students were so enthuastic and energized each day as they also made new friends. It was a very successful summer camp and we are all very proud of the students that participated. 

Thanks to our team of teachers who motivated these students to reach new creative hights. The teachers were:  

Bernard Govea is a Mexican writer and expert in young adult literature who lives in Guanajuato.

Christian Baumgartner is an actor and dancer from Venezuela and currently performing and teaching in San Miguel. We had the use of the theater in Bellas Artes for his classes.

Susan Dorf is known for her paintings, prints, and sketchbook drawings and she has taught painting and drawing workshop in several countries.

Thanks to our donors, we were able to provide this five day course free of charge with lunch included  and we were also able to reimburse transportation costs for students that traveled from out of town many of which came from rural communities.
