We Are Now Catering to 1,600 Users!
We want to update you on a very exciting development in our Saber sin Límites Community Library. We now provide services to a total of 1,600 library members!
Thanks to your support and the tireless efforts of our dedicated librarians, Limitless Horizons Ixil can achieve greater reach and relevance in the community of Chajul!
Our Program Manager, Edilma Hernandez, has remarked that the number of regular library users is growing quickly, and more older youth and teachers are actively using the research and study areas of the library.
One of the reasons for this expansion is that we have recently teamed up with a local middle school, Colegio San Gaspar, to provide access to the library for their students and teachers, in addition to supporting with supplies, the development of facilities, and workshops for teachers. While our library continues to bridge the gaps in Chajul’s education system, we also strive to effect change within the school system through this collaboration with San Gaspar.
San Gaspar have mandated that all of their 100 students and teachers sign up for library membership. Not only are we opening our doors and our resources to more students and teachers, but teachers can now plan lessons using materials in our library, knowing that their students will be able to access them.
We look forward to keeping you posted on the exciting growth of Saber sin Límites!
