I.S.A.B.T. Partners with World Reader!

NEWS: I.S.A.B.T. is now partnering with World Reader!

Dear Friends, 

I.S.A.B.T. is excited to announce a new partnership with the brilliant organization Worldreader!

Worldreader works with schools, teachers, and students in Africa to provide them with access to vast libraries of educational e-books through their kindle and app for mobile phones program.

I.S.A.B.T. is now providing e-books and stories, written by African children from our Book Club International programs, to add to the Worldreader library. Ultimately, this means that the I.S.A.B.T. library of stories authored by our students in Africa will now be available to participants of the Worldreader Kindle programs globally.

As of February 2013; Worldreader has distributed over 441,000 digital books to children and teachers across ten e-reader projects in five African countries. Many of the books in the world reader program come from Africa Publishers. 

Please stay tuned for updates on this new project!

New Shipment On The Way To Schools In Ghana!

An anonymous donor has contributed 140 boxes of prime teaching materials to schools that I.S.A.B.T. works with in Ghana!

Materials include History, Math, and Science books, dictionaries, hundreds of leveled reading books, teaching aids, reference books, math and science tools, microscopes, scissors, pencils... the list goes on. For a full inventory of materials please click here.

We have worked closely with the donor school teachers and volunteers to sort and divide these valuable materials for maximum impact. The shipment has been timed to arrive and coincide with the deployment of Pagus Africa volunteers working with the schools in Ghana this summer.

Special thanks to the I.S.A.B.T. donors as well as to Ellen Berenholz and Pagus Africa  for their help with coordinating this project. Stay tuned for more on this story...
