Probigua Bibliobus
Toby's school Probigua (Proyecto Biblioteca de Guatemala) work to set up libraries in rural communities, and they also have 2 library buses that travel to communities. It allows the teachers and students to access reference books to answer their questions, and also have more stories to read. Their first bus was donated to them by the Swiss and contains nearly 2,000 publications. It's painted on the outside very much like a regular chicken bus, but on the inside the shelves above the seats contain books. There are seats arranged differently and taken out to allow bookshelves and make it a little like a classroom. Occasionally teaches in the rural areas hold class on the bus!
