Changing the Landscape of Childhood Literacy
Hands Across the Sea is dedicated to raising children’s literacy in the Eastern Caribbean through school and community library programs.
Hands Across the Sea is focused on six English-speaking island nations of the Eastern Caribbean: Antigua, St. Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada. The enthusiasm for reading in the region is very high, but the budget for literacy-building resources is very low. Many children are growing up without access to new, relevant books and a lending library.
Bringing positive, lasting change to the lives of children in the Eastern Caribbean through improving literacy. A great organisation to be a part of whilst cruising the Caribbean.
They welcome volunteers, and donations.

My wife and I have supported Hands Across the Sea with financial donations for several years now. The work they do to supply new, colorful, age appropriate books to Caribbean schools is wonderful. Getting kids reading at an early age is so important to their success in life!
