The Smart Learning program at the Tunas Bangsa Reading Post in Sulawesi have now reached their seventh session. Participants happily shared that their children are now hooked on having books read to them; many of them insist on hearing the same book over and over again because they love it so much. “They’re overwhelmed because they’re constantly asked to read the same book, but the participants also feel challenged to keep making time for their children,” said a Cinta Baca staff member.

Smart Learning is one of Cinta Baca’s main programs, designed to train parents to read stories to their children on a regular basis.
