Nicole in NY [Welcome]:
Welcome to the Students Rebuild Literacy Challenge Peru
webcast. I’m Nicole with Global Nomads Group in New York.
For the past year you, students around the world, have been
committed to the Students Rebuild Literacy Challenge, making
bookmarks that were matched with funding to support Save
the Children’s Literacy Boost program. I’m pleased to connect
you to, Andahuaylas, Peru where students, teachers, and
community members have directly benefited from the
bookmarks you made through this challenge.
Take it away in Peru!

[Rachel/Facilitator introduction and general intro to issue]
My name is Rachel, with Global Nomads Group.
In Peru, 40% of the population over 15 years of age are
illiterate. For the next 40 minutes we will discuss this issue
with my friends working to improve literacy in this
community, and the ways lives are being changed through
their work.
(Brief and general introduction of panelists—reiterate the
Ambassador Schools are students in the U.S. who took the Literacy
Challenge by making bookmarks. The bookmarks were matched
with funding for Save the Children’s Literacy Boost program, the
program our panelists are here to discuss today)
