The third episode of the second season of our series Correctbook Diary can now be found on our YouTube channel! In this episode we start distributing 15.000 Correctbooks to the most rural areas of Rwanda and we meet Marleen and Bosco. They are leaders in the Anglican Church with whom we cooperate for this project. Are you going to watch?
Meet Bosco, head of the ecuation department of the Anglican Church. With his loud laugh and his sense of humor he makes everybody laugh! His first thought when he first heard of Correctbook: "This is the perfect solution".
What you will also see: founder Sam now fully understands why they use big land cruisers in Rwanda. We drive straight into a storm on a very rough dirt road. Our city car even becomes stuck. In this episode you will see how we manage to get out of this!
Become a Correctbook Buddy
Do you already have a Correctbook at home, at the office and in your bag, but do you still want to continue supporting our battle against illiteracy? Become a Correctbook Buddy! For € 8,- euro a month you give a child in a developing area access to our erasable writing material for a period of two years. If you continue donating for a whole year, this gives four children the opportunity to write on our erasable writing material during their whole elementary school period. How great is that!? Of course any other monthly amount or a single gift is also very welcome!

Yes!! Finally, the trailer of the second season of our Correctbook Diary series is online. It gives you a peek into what may well be the most underestimated problem of the world: illiteracy. We investigate the cause of lack of school materials and we make a difference in this situation by introducing our erasable notebook. It was a long wait, but it was certainly worth it…
Earlier this year, a part of the Correctbook team travelled to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. This is where our Rwandese team is situated and where we have our African production facility. As we speak, more than 30.000 children are already writing with a Correctbook in the most rural areas of this country.
This year we went there to hand out the impressive number of 15.000 Correctbooks to the children. We did this in cooperation with the Anglican Church in Rwanda. We chose to work together with this organization because there was a positive click right from the start. They activate the teachers to find the right teaching method with the help of the Correctbook manual. It is important to us that our products are not seen merely as a gift. We are happy to see that schools invest in a sustainable way to make use of the writing materials, so that they last a very long time.
Thanks to all our customers here in Europe, we were able to give these 15000 children a Correctbook. We are so thankful to you all for this. Our customers often ask us what else they can do - besides buying our books - to contribute to our mission to make writing accessible for everyone. We calculated that we could give a child in a developing area access to Correctbook writing material for a period of two years, with a donation of just eight euro. Find the donation page here.
The trailer gives you a preview of the series that consists of five episodes, each with its own theme. Starting from the 11th of June, we will release a new episode e
