Working with Hands Across the Sea to purchase 4,144 books for 11 primary schools in St. Vincent to help improve the literacy rate. Two of the schools in St. Vincent that have recently received books through the Hands Across the Sea Project are Park Hill Government School and South Rivers Government School. This took place during a wonderful week of literacy activities in which the whole community was involved.
