Following on the 2009 Temple Emanuel delegation to New Haven’s Sister City of León, Nicaragua, TE members continue to support our Sister City and its youth reading group. This project involves teenagers in the rural village of Goyena, a community that was created on the outskirts of León for people who lost their homes due to the destruction of Hurricane Mitch in 1998. Reading is not a common activity in this community, but this group of youth has become enthusiastic readers!
