This month we interviewed the pedagogical coordinator, Raquel, from one of our partner schools - EMEB Professora Hercília Alves da SIlva Ribeiro - which has 600 students with whom we work and now I shall share her words with you.
"The way the project incentivises reading has caused a great impact in the school, not only on the children who wait anxiously for their sessions, but also on the teachers who are encouraged by the project to turn their lessons much more varied and interesting for the children. The children come up to the administrative office at school asking when they will be having their next contact with the project. We missed having such a serious and important project in our school because it has increased the students'interest in their education and has broadened their development in the classes; once we were supposed to be having planning week (when the children stay home from school) at the same time as the project was going to come to us, so we took a decision and changed our planning week in order that the children didn't lose out on the project."
I hope that all of you who are supporting us to deliver this project are as excited as we are to hear these kinds of information from the schools. It is things like this combined with knowing that there are people from around the world who are engaged and supporting us which gives us the energy to continue working even inn the middle of what are very difficult times in Brazil.
