BOOK DRIVE
BOOK DRIVE FOR BOLIVIA!
The library at the Tahuantinsuyo Community Centre has NO STORY BOOKS, just old text books. We plan to change that! Every child, no matter what age, enjoys a good story. We are now doing a BOOK DRIVE for SPANISH BOOKS for children ages 3 to 18. We have drop off locations in Montreal (Pierrefonds), Toronto (Markham), Pasadena, and Calgary/Airdrie. We are looking for gently used Spanish Books that we can bring to Bolivia at the end of February. We are also planning to spend a day shopping as a group in La Paz for new & used books. If you have a book or two at home, or are willing to keep an eye out at your local library (discard cart), or thrift store, we’d love to hear from you! If you would like to kick in a few dollars for book purchases in La Paz, we’d also like to hear from you! There are 7 of us traveling to Bolivia this trip. Help us put a few books in each suitcase! Gracias! info@helpbolivia.org

The Challenge
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in South America, with increasing migration of rural population, mostly illiterate and extremely poor, moving to urban centres such as El Alto. These migrant families are often divided as one or both parents are forced to leave their families to seek work elsewhere. The most vulnerable; women, children and adolescents remain. The city of El Alto, on the outskirts of La Paz has some of the highest rates of violence against women and children. A large number of these migrant families' children are faced with extreme poverty, poor educational support, malnutrition, insufficient health care and increased risk of sexual abuse and gang violence.
How We HELP
Help Bolivia Foundation is working in the Tahuantinsuyo Community Centre in El Alto on the outskirts of La Paz. The foundation alleviates poverty in Bolivia by providing Health, Education, and Lunch Programs to underprivileged children.
HELP Bolivia Mission Statement:
To relieve poverty in Bolivia by providing programs that deliver education, counselling and nutrition to underprivileged children as well as skills training to underprivileged women and youth.
