PROBIGUA




Academia de Español PROBIGUA (Proyecto Bibliotecas Guatemala) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to two goals:

1) Teaching Spanish through their language school.
2) Helping the children of Guatemala by donating the school's profits to establish and maintain libraries in the many rural villages in which there is no access to books.

I'll be spending my mornings at the language academy and in the afternoons I'll be volunteering with the library project. At this point, I know I'll be helping out with their reading programs and doing some cataloging on the Bibliobus. Cataloging gets a lot more appealing when one gets to do it on a bus delivering books to children in rural Guatemalan villages.

Where would one find chicken monkey shoes? Does the store that sells them have a layaway plan?

Good Luck on your new adventure, muchacha.

Woof!
I am not entirely sure, the chicken monkey shoes... very mysterious beasts. But every fiber of my being tells me I want them.
Is that wrong?
