Books for World Peace
Greece teacher using books to form a link with Ethiopia
If all goes well, Alicia Van Borssum of Hilton will be in Ethiopia this summer showing teachers and librarians there about using wordless picture books for language learning and literacy.
And she won't just be talking about books; she will also be bringing books to Ethiopia, a poverty stricken country with a high illiteracy rate.
Her time in that East African country will be the culmination of months of work and fundraising, of talking with students and teachers here as well as with civic groups.
Van Borssum, a teacher of English to speakers of other languages in the Greece school district, hopes that her efforts will bring the joys and power of reading to children in very tough circumstances.
"It's no big idea," she says with a laugh. "It's just peace on Earth is what I'm after."
