Big Brother Mouse

9 April, 2013, Nyai Village, Xayaboury Province, Laos

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!

Customers of Tammachat Natural Textiles made this party possible. Tammachat buys textiles directly from the women who weave them in Thailand and Laos. For each piece they sell, they donate a book to a child in Laos through Big Brother Mouse.
