Success Stories
At the Natasha Fernandez Foundation, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and dream. Through accessible little libraries, reading corners, and educational programs, we bring the joy of reading to underserved communities, fostering a lifelong love for knowledge.
"Before we had a reading corner in our community center, I never liked reading because it felt hard. But now, I can pick any book I like, and I practice every day. My favorite book is about space!" – Jason, age 10
Jason, a bright and curious boy, struggled with reading in school. When a little library was set up in his neighborhood, he started picking up books out of curiosity. With encouragement from volunteers and access to books he enjoyed, Jason’s reading skills improved dramatically. Today, he dreams of becoming an astronaut!
"I never realized how much reading together could strengthen our bond. The books we received from the foundation helped my daughter and me spend more quality time together." – Maria, mother of 7-year-old Emily
Maria, a single mother, wanted to support her daughter’s education but struggled to afford books at home. Through our Family Reading Engagement program, Maria and Emily received books and guidance on making reading a daily habit. Now, bedtime stories have become their favorite time of day!
"Our students now rush to the reading corner during breaks. Seeing their excitement for books has been truly inspiring!" – Ms. Rodriguez, Elementary School Teacher
At a local underserved school, students had limited access to books outside of class. When the Natasha Fernandez Foundation set up a Reading Corner, it became an instant favorite among students. Teachers noticed improved reading skills, and more students began participating in discussions and storytelling sessions.
