Hands Across the Sea operate in the Eastern Caribbean where they have recognised that 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. They welcome volunteers as well as donations.

John & Janice Barba told Noonsite, "We 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!".
