Book Box Library Training in Sam Neua, Part 1

About four years ago my friend Jim Harris, a retired principal from Wausau, and I raised money for about 15 book box libraries and I funded a training for teachers receiving the book box libraries for their schools in Sam Neua. In this video that Jim made you see the Children's Librarian training the teachers in a hall near the public library "downtown" in Sam Neua. And if you look at the other videos where she presents to students at one of the schools receiving a book box library or when she's visiting rural schools near Vientiane in the National Library of Laos bookmobile, you will see she's a "superstar." She's comfortable in front of both large groups of students or teachers and is an extraordinary storyteller. I think it would be great if a Lao community would sponsor her to come for a visit to the states.

The lady in the video is very funny! I like her. She would be a wonderful/aspiration teacher.

How does the book box library work? You guys donate the funds and let them purchase the books and the books are stationed at that school? or is it like a moving book box library? No matter what I like the idea and thanks for donating books to Lao children! Greatly appreciated!!
