Books to Africa

Mrs Regaud and the Grade 5's have been busy this year  corresponding and assisting with the librarian, Mrs Hembree from   Bell Elementary Primary School in USA, with her dream of "Books to Africa".  Mrs Hembree's dream was to send  picture books to much needed organisations in Africa.  Eden College received 4 such boxes of books and these have been distributed to local organisations.
