These audiobook recordings were made for a Girl Scout Gold Award Project created by Catarina Caruso. She hosted two-book drives; one during summer 2020 and one during the fall of 2020 at Fort Myers High School through the National English Honor Society (NEHS). She has collected over 700 new and like-new children's books to be donated to the Golisano Children's Hospital's Child Life Department. These audiobooks were created by members of Catarina's Girl Scout Troop (Troop 376) and members of NEHS for the children at Golisano. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, Catarina was unable to physically interact with the patients at Golisano and read aloud some of their favorite children's books with them. In response to this, these videos were created for those patients who would like a book read aloud to them. She hopes that these videos will leave a long-lasting impact on children's education and her community. She would like to especially thank her Girl Scout Troop (Troop 376), her Girl Scout Troop leaders (Christina Caruso and Julene Duff), the members of NEHS, the NEHS sponsors (Miss Millage & Ms. Holzinger), and all of the wonderful people who have donated children's books and read-aloud children's books for this channel. She is very grateful to all of those who have helped her in completing her Girl Scout Gold Award.
A special thank you to Anna Fischler for creating this audiobook recording!
