Please help the children of rural Boquete experience the joy of reading and the magic of books!

Hello,

 

Amigos de Animales has been going to local schools for years. We've now created an Educational Outreach program that we'd like to introduce.  


Who we are: We are a team of volunteers dedicated to improving the circumstances of the children and pets around rural Boquete. Many of us have educational backgrounds, some have technical knowledge, others have catering skills, some provide transport. No one receives a stipend or expenses.


Our mission:  To enhance the students’ educational experience by providing classes on pet care, animal maintenance, and sterilization.  We will also expand their access to attractive reading books, by modeling reading and teaching methods for the teachers, and by setting up school animal sterilization clinics at the schools, near the students’ homes.  

 

To date in 2023, we have been able to support 44 classrooms with bookcases, rugs and books, going into the school when the teacher sends us a picture of the reading corner ready to be furnished. The Ministry of Education asks the teachers to create reading corners, however, the classrooms have very few story books.

 

We are inspiring their reading by providing colorful story books from Scholastic, Barnes and Noble, local authors, and other sources. We also motivate the students to learn by singing songs, reading aloud to them, encouraging them to read in their spare time at home and school.

The School Directors, Teachers and students in all of the rural Boquete schools are very excited about this program.  There are many more schools and classrooms that need to be set up and animal care programs to be presented. We  need your help!

 

Our plan for moving ahead: 

• Actively fundraising to be able to buy books, reading materials, supplies for the Animales presentations, and to fund the Amigos de Animales school sterilization clinics. 

• Build a base of volunteers so that four people can be attached to each school or school area to follow through on the program.

• Visit every school in the district annually to give a two day presentation on pet care and the importance of sterilization.

• Undertake a mini clinic within reach of each school once every year to ensure that the students' cats and dogs and those of the community are sterilized.

• Support the classroom reading corner with bookcases, rugs and books. Follow up by replacing damaged books and rotating titles.

• Visiting the schools in  each district on a regular basis to nurture and grow the Amigos de Animales Educational program.

• Enhance the students literacy and educational experience.

It is so rewarding and fun to be with these students.

We need your help! This year we want to set up book corners in 20 more classrooms and to do 2 more school sterilization clinics. Also, we need volunteers in a number of areas (no Spanish required). 

 

Volunteer today and put your talents to work in your community. There is no better exercise for your heart and soul than reaching out and helping to lift a child. Please click one or both buttons below.
