This great group of women are dedicated and inspiring.
When Joseph and I decided to move to South Korea for awhile, the Delta Delta Chapter asked to let them know if there was anything they could do to help. A few months in South Korea, Joseph and I were asked to revamp the school library and to help rewrite the school's writing curriculum. In doing this we discovered that the books available to the students, although plenty, were lacking just a bit whether through wear and tear or just not appropriate. After speaking with various members of DKG it was decided this was a good project to embark on.
A few emails later and the ball was rolling with the wonderful women who are part of the Delta Delta Chapter of DKG.
So many books were donated to the students at our school and they were so surprised and delighted to see and read these books. Joseph and I each read a book to them at the start of class and we do a picture walk and a read of the story. With each class being only 50 minutes we don't have time to do what we would like fully with each book but we give each book justice. We mainly want the students to enjoy the books and to read the books. We think of what we are doing as advertising that particular book so the student goes and chooses that book willingly and reads it not only for themselves, but perhaps takes it home to read to siblings and/or their family members.
