Harriet Evans Betts




Hi Debby:

Attached is a photo taken yesterday at our year end celebration for Motheread/Fatheread.
Motheread is a nationally acclaimed private, non-profit organization that combines the teaching of literacy skills with child development and family empowerment issues. Parents and children learn to use the power of language to discover more about themselves, their families, and their communities.

Each week we read and explore a new book. All of our books are bilingual so that the parents can take them home and read them again with their children. We never run out of issues to discuss and this year each participant created their own book; In My Family/En mi familia. As you can tell, I am loving this experience!

Bruce, Kristina and I are off to Alaska in late May for a week. I will send some news and photos once we return.

It is always a treat to hear from you-
Harriet
