Our pioneering Book Bus team in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador, are always coming up with new ways to engage locals with the world of books and learning. Their latest venture is a radio programme that encourages good educational habits, with a focus on children's reading.
The weekly programme is primarily aimed at parents, Arturo Rodriguez, Book Bus Project
Coordinator in the region, explains. "We want to encourage them to read to
their kids regularly. But also, the parents really enjoy it themselves."
The programme features fun stories, as well as discussion and
advice. It's already received glowing reviews and the team look
forward to connecting more with locals through the airwaves.But the creativity doesn't end there. Music has always played a big part in Book Bus activities, and the kids love it! So our talented Arturo, with the help of singer Sylvia Reilly, volunteers and locals, has created a song for the Book Bus, aptly called Love we Love. The video was filmed in Puerto Lopez and features a lot of friendly faces! Check it out here.
