Eileen and Larry Kugler volunteer in A.V. Bukani Primary School in rural South Africa to improve literacy through professional development for the teachers and family engagement programs. Their daughter Sara has joined them on several trips. In 2010 they created a school library of 23,000 books which impacts the entire community. They returned in 2019 for their 6th trip. Contributions through the Kugler Education Fund at South Africa Partners support this wonderful school and community.

RETURNING TO BUKANI!
It's official! We leave on April 26 for three weeks at our beloved A.V. Bukani Elementary School in Nomathamsanqa Township, Addo, South Africa.
Larry is busy preparing professional development for the teachers on big books and accompanying little readers. Thanks to the donation from O'brien Associates in Richmond, we have a selection of big books and various small books for early readers, to be used in classroom instruction.
New computers a priority
Eileen's focus is on helping the school replace the aging out-of-date computers in their lab. Donations to the Kugler Education Fund (see "How to Donate") this year will support that effort. We're also working with potential donors of new computers both from the U.S. and in South Africa.
