Dear supporters, we are now through the trial phase and the boxes have been circulated to new schools. All the participating schools were supplied with 'participation diplomas' for the children and a winning diarist from each school was decided. These winners all had a wonderful day out in Belgrade (pics on our FB page). We are now moving ahead with (up to) 6 more rural schools in Pozega, as well as trying to recruit volunteers to implement the scheme in other regions. Let us know if you have any suggestions/contacts pls. Thank you all!

We are 2 months into the trial and it's all good news :) Reports from the teachers in all six schools are very encouraging. With only a few exceptions, the children are actively reading and recommending books to each other. The activity rate is high and in fact we are considering changing the boxes around early! The teachers are optimistic too and find that the logging system works easily. I'm thrilled to say that one teacher, in Visibaba ('snowdrop') village says that she's noticed the children's vocabulary improving already.

Hello everyone. As you’ve probably seen from the Facebook page we had a fantastic launch at 6 schools despite heavy snow. If you’ve not visited the page, please do - some of the videos will warm your heart! (Www.facebook.com/proslediknjigu). Also, we’ve had some stonking coverage which is a great motivator for all concerned - parents, teachers, kids, team and hopefully, future donors too 😉 School was due to start tomorrow but has been delayed a week due to the flu outbreak. I’ll post a new report after speaking to all the teachers soon.
