Volunteering at SJDS Biblioteca Móvil




"I was volunteering with the mobile project on the day the students at Las Pampas Community received their library cards and books for the first time. I have to tell you, as an educator, it was thrilling."

-Michael Maldec, Sociology Professor, Boston College, Boston, MA.


"Thanks for letting me go out with the mobile project. It was great! Every time I went, it made me feel like Santa Claus."

-Peter, American student taking Spanish classes in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.

There are many ways that you can help out the San Juan del Sur Biblioteca Móvil. One of the most rewarding ways is to head down and volunteer on-site, in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. As our project is expanding every month, bringing the joy of reading to so many more people, we can always use an extra hand! If you're looking for a retirement project, taking a year off school, or just want to occupy yourself and travel at the same time, then volunteer. We can arrange a home-stay or hotel-stay at reasonable prices. Volunteer projects include working with our very fundamental library systems, helping organize our fledgling data base, teaching English, facilitating craft classes and working on the mobile unit. It's simple! Just download the following file (Microsoft Word format), fill out an electronic copy, e-mail it to us at janem101@aol.com , then print a hard copy and mail it in.
