Support Kabwende Primary School

Books & Beyond is a service-learning project that focuses on promoting literacy (as well as fostering an international dialogue and perspective) by bringing together Indiana University students with TEAM schools, a series of KIPP charter schools in Newark New Jersey, as well as students and staff at The Kabwende Primary School in Kinigi, Rwanda, to write, illustrate, publish, and market a collection of short stories. Copies of the anthology, The Wold is Our Home, are given to Kabwende Primary School for use in English language education. Indiana University students participate in a variety of faculties, including raising funds for the publication, mentoring TEAM school students, documenting and evaluating the project, and corresponding with teachers from Kabwende, all the while learning valuable skills. The goal of Books & Beyond is to not only provide literary resources for the Rwandan students but above all, to be a conduit for cross-cultural exchange and understanding; we hope to help our students to become active members of the community now and post graduation.

The money donated in this campaign will help fund the printing of 2,500 copies of this year's anthology, The World Is Our Home Vol 7.  (total cost:  $5,200)
