Please take a minute to check out the latest organization that needs your help, featured by the Strengthen the Good Network.
Douglas Dart, his wife, and his three young daughters are currently spending a year living in Bratislava, Slovakia. Doug’s (unpaid) mission: teach English and American Studies to Slovakian high school students at a school called The C.S. Lewis Bilingual Gymnaziumin in Bratislava’s Petrzalka district.
And there’s the opportunity: to help Douglas and the CS Lewis school bring English–which the students call “the language of freedom”–and a bit of genuine America–which is still widely misunderstood in the former East Block–to the teenagers of Petrzalka. Together, with just a bit of time and energy, we can build an English-language library right in the center of a former Soviet-era apartment complex.
The C.S. Lewis Bilingual Gymnaziumin in Bratislava, Slovakia and find out what you can do to help. This is a fun and rewarding effort, so please consider sending a book or two or offering up a cash donation in any amount. If this doesn’t catch your eye, think about donating your time and resources to help your local library and literacy programs.
