The mobile library (BMP) continues to help schoolchildren read in Burkina Faso. The motorcycle library regularly visits schools in the Hounde area. The books provided include many locally produced books, that are favorites of many readers. With your continuing support we can reach more schools, and restock the BMP with puzzles and more books.
Here is a recent report from the team: Activities at the Penelope Mobile Library at Houndé School B. As part of the promotion of reading, the facilitator of the BMP. The team conducted an outreach activity at Houndé School B on Thursday, October 23, 2025. The objective of this visit was to bring books closer to the children while encouraging them to read. Several activities took place with the students during the day: guided reading sessions, peer tutoring in reading, alphabet games, and math activities. Approximately forty children were present around the mobile library to participate in the activities. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, the BMP departed, but it will return in a week for more activities, much to the delight of the young readers.
