Street Libraries
Moving libraries up to the poorer areas of towns through a mobile library and helping children to discover the pleasure of reading, has been an initiative from the Movimiento Cuarto Mundo, a group of volunteers. It has two plans of action, children and parents, although it is especially aimed to children. By joining together the street library and the school support classes it is intended to improve their health conditions, familiar situation, and attendance at school and relationships with other partners. Parents are helped to solve the daily tasks, as the access to public health, to public education, or to carry on administrative managements. There are future projects, aimed at young people and teenagers, about free time activities, vocational training and sexual education.
