Bilingual Spanish English books were provided to the small local library near the city center of San Miguel de Allende.

IFED seeks to foster literacy and a love of learning by providing books and other educational material to stimulate young minds. Children’s books are distributed through Head Start programs, as well as Path to Shine. We have facilitated donations of computers in Boys and Girls Club, YMCA for senior classes and SAFE House for families in crisis. Other local projects include book fairs, readings of our environmental book, Let There Be Dragons, and holiday visits to senior community centers.
