A campaign to bring textbooks to Nicaraguan students by a former Examiner reporter has surpassed its goal.
Textbooks for Nicaragua Campaign, by Carol Franks whose journeys throughout Central America were profiled in a series of features on The Examiner’s Travel Page this fall, has raised $3,500, surpassing its $2,000 goal.
Franks promised her Nicaraguan students this past spring to bring back ESL textbooks from Canada. Pearson Longman, publisher of the ESL series, Side by Side, kicked off the campaign by donating 20 textbooks, an assortment of dictionaries and some readers.
