The holidays will soon be here. This year we're asking for your assistance so we can help out the residents of a beautiful diving destination, Little Corn Island, Nicaragua.
There's a Children's Reading Room on the island for the local school kids.

Many local businesses have collection boxes by their registers to collect spare change so they can buy books.

CHUM will be collecting books this year to ship to the Reading Room. :cool2: We're working in conjunction with Wisconsin/Nicaragua Partners who are graciously allowing us to piggy-back on their semi-annual cargo shipments to Nicaragua. We'll ship the books to Wisconsin, they'll see that they make it from there to Little Corn.

While you're doing your shopping, please pick up some childrens books to donate. Books for any age up to 8th grade would be appropriate. Most people on the island speak English, but the national language of Nicaragua is Spanish, so if we could get some books in both languages, that would be ideal. In Houston, it shouldn't be too difficult to find both. You can bring them to either the November CHUM meeting or the Holiday Party on Dec 6th.

If shopping's not your thing, we can also accept cash donations which will be used to either buy more books, or help defray the shipping costs.

We hope you'll join us for this worthy cause and help spread some holiday cheer! :glad:
