has recently donated more than 2000 copies of its premier Early World of Learning kit to World Vision for distribution throughout the region. The kits will be distributed through World Vision’s special Saturday Store being set up in the affected areas where teachers can come and select school supplies and educational resources for their students. “Many residents have yet to return to the Gulf Coast since Hurricane Katrina but those families that have come back include thousands of young children who are in desperate need of learning materials” said Paul Gazzolo president of World Book. “We are specifically focusing on providing resources for the youngest of learners because we want to help ensure that as many of these students as possible get off to a positive start laying a strong foundation for their education in years to come. World Vision estimates that less than one third of schools have reopened in the New rleans area and many of those that have opened throughout the Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coast region still have significant shortages of supplies. Some schools are housed at temporary locations as they were severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina and still remain under reconstruction. “Children parents and educators in this area face tremendous challenges as they work to rebuild their lives” said Phyllis Freeman director of southern region for World Vision.
