Pencil Project Books Help Stimulate A Commitment to Change the World

Through a partnership with S.M.I.L.E, Nigeria, a set of Pencil Project books have been placed in the iRead Mobile library in Nigeria

iRead Mobile Library is the first innovative books on wheels for children in Nigeria. They have books in trucks and vans that they take around to the schools and communities. Children can borrow the books to read. The children record what they have read through a review journal and they return the books when the mobile library visits again.

At an April 2018 read-aloud evening, the Pencil Project Book was one of the books that was read.

For the Pencil Project was all about a changing the world and they were able to understand that as children, they could contribute to changing the world. They also learnt about the Sustainable Development Goals and they were able to make pledges to say that they would also be part of the people changing the world.
