We need books for our kids

Dear volunteer,

Espaanglisch was very grateful last year to receive help with purchasing a full set of books (the Interchange series). Volunteers from both far and wide, old and new came together to make this happen and we thank each one of you deeply.

We are now in the process of acquiring a set of books more appropriate for our children’s classes. The Interchange series will continue to be used for the Adult’s classes, but we will now be using the English In Mind series for our children’s classes. For children to learn effectively, a different kind of textbook is required, so the aim of purchasing the new books is to improve the efficacy of the classes.

If you are able and/or willing to donate textbooks, please contact us at davidmercedes@espaanglisch.com and we will send you details of how to buy the books.

For more information on the English in Mind books, go to:
