WorldTeach Podcast on The Unbound Bookmaker Project

7/20/2012

 
The WorldTeach HQ contacted Laura Sundblad, the recent Field Director of WorldTeach in the Marshall Islands, about doing a podcast detailing what the The Unbound Bookmaker Project is, how it works, and its importance in promoting literacy in the Marshall Islands. Here it is! We are still needing donations to make the Marshallese children's books (the kids write and illustrate them with the help of the WorldTeach volunteers, I publish them, and then each child, school, and volunteer get a copy). If someone—or a group—provides for a whole class ($480), then you or your group receives credit within the book.

I think we always talk about encouraging literacy in the world, but this is the easiest, most direct, and most efficient use of funds to directly impact Marshallese children, who have very few books. For some, especially on the outer atolls, it will be the first book they own.

    While I still edit science books and help kids create stories, I've moved my focus to writing science-based fiction and non-fiction stories. See more at www.jamiezvirzdin.com.
