Correspondence Exchange ProgramAn exciting program that will allow children from Likii village, Spokane, and the rest of the United States learn and share each others rich cultures. We have already matched 43 children and the first correspondence from Spokane was sent out on August 12, 2011. Children between the ages of 7 years to 17 years are welcome to join the program. Parents are required to complete the application form before their children can be part of the correspondence exchange program. Forty-two children from St. John Vianney Catholic Church Vocational School have been matched with children from Likii village. Two other children enrolled during the Hispanic Festival. We still need twenty more students to be matched with the remaining friends from Likii village. Reading SessionsAnother great way to enrich our children's knowledge of the different cultures in Africa and USA. Children in Spokane will enjoy learning about the African culture and especially Kenya which has over 45 tribes, from storybooks written by African writers. Children in Likii village will also enjoy the rich cutlure found in the USA with emphasis on Native Americans and Amish communities as well as the beautiful country lifestyles. We invite you to donate books on these rich American cultures which we can share with children from Likii village. We are working together with the Spokane Valley Libraries to add our reading session for their Spring program.
