100 Poem Challenge: #60

a character study.

Caitlin is mostly water but she feels like a cricket pitch.

The Challenge

Jen will be writing 100 poems in 48 hours (6th-7th October 2015) to raise money for The Book Bus - a charity funding mobile libraries in rural communities across Africa, Asia, and South America, helping children learn to read. The poems will be posted on this blog as she writes them, she'll be vlogging on her Youtube channel as she goes and you can donate money to support The Book Bus over at this Indiegogo page here, where you can also buy limited edition pamphlets of the 100 poems and handwritten poems on postcards. All proceeds go to The Book Bus.

About the Book Bus

The Book Bus supports schools by providing mobile library facilities and volunteer story-tellers to help children become confident and literate readers for life. Working mainly with rural schools in Zambia, Malawi, India and Ecuador, our volunteer crew divide huge classes into small groups and inspire the children to read by personalizing the reading experience through story-telling, assisted reading practice and creative arts. This simple and effective support is sustained by provision of books and resources to each school library. Each Book Bus and its volunteer crew supports a cluster of five schools for up to three months. We make weekly visits to these schools working with up to 800 children from the cluster. The project finishes with an end of term party and opening of a new school library.
