Build a library with us

10% of every purchase made on JolieCanoli.com goes to building a library in Rabinal, Guatemala. 

Can you imagine owning no books? And not only that, not having a local library to borrow books from? Only a few of the children of the poverty stricken town Rabinal, Guatemala are able to attend school. Even the privileged few that do attend school have to share the limited supplies they have. Their books are well loved, to put it kindly! 

With the help of local missionaries we are building a library, one book at a time, for the people of Rabinal. Ten cents of every dollar spent on JolieCanoli.com goes to building the library for the people of Rabinal. 

You can also donate directly to the cause here! Together we can give the gift of reading and foster the love of learning around the world. 

What books are donated? 

Books that teach math, science, and history, Bibles, illustrated children’s Bibles, and enriching literature are provided. 

Who chooses the books?

Local missionaries choose the books gifted to the town. They work with local teachers and families reading and curating books in the commonly spoken language that would best meet the needs of the children and people there.

How are books delivered? 

Guatemala has limited publishers and book selection. This has made it difficult to source books within the country. Therefore books are purchased in the United States and carried in personal luggage and delivered annually just before Christmas.
