THE CAREYES FOUNDATION HAS PRODUCED FOUR BOOKS IN A SERIES OF CUSTOM-MADE ENGLISH-SPANISH TEXTBOOKS, TAILORED SPECIFICALLY TO THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN RURAL AREAS. THIS SERIES AND ACCOMPANYING CURRICULUM WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO BECOME BILINGUAL AND, ULTIMATELY, TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES.
