Book party: At book parties we read from books, play games, and sing songs. At the end of each book party, every student gets to choose a book, usually the first book they've ever owned. Then we give more to the school. Our book parties have two goals. First, we get children excited about books. (Previously, most of them had seen textbooks, but never a book they were eager to read.) Second, we observe closely, to see what books are most avidly read, what's needed, and what techniques help spread a love of reading.

This event was sponsored by Tammachat Natural Textiles (Canada). Thank you!

Do you remember your first important book? The book that made you realize that books were the doorway to another world?

By sponsoring a book party, you can provide that experience for an entire school of children in Laos, just as Tammachat Natural Textiles has been for many years.
