“I really enjoyed working at the library. It is a wonderful place that opens opportunities for children to learn while doing homework, reading, and playing. The children were so respectful and kind. The staff was wonderful as well. What makes the experience so rewarding is that the children want to be there. I would encourage everyone to volunteer at this library!”

“I am amazed by Amy´s library. I enjoyed working with the children and the experience brought me a different perspective and a new opportunity to grow. I believe that literacy is important and this library opens doors for the children to learn and read. It’s great that I was able to be a part of this wonderful place in Cusco!”

“La Pagina… is one of the most amazing experiences of my life. To see the children´s eyes, when the teacher reads a story, is one of the greatest rewards. There are two gifts which we must pass on to children, one is the gift of reading and the other is the gift of books. La Pagina en la Puerta does both. This cannot be done without the great work of Amy Bakal and her coworkers. To allow this to continue and grow, any donations would be very, very welcome.”

“La Pagina en la Puerta provides an excellent opportunity for the children from surrounding areas to read with volunteers and get help with their homework. All of the children seem so eager to learn and very excited to be there. It was a great opportunity for me as a volunteer.”

“During my time at the library I realized the immense opportunities that Amy is providing for the children in the neighborhood. The library enables the children to apply themselves in their studies and enrich their reading skills in a healthy and warm environment. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the library and feel as a volunteer that I was able to make a difference.”
