KINGSTON, Jamaica, 20 de julio de 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- MoneyGram (NASDAQ: MGI), proveedor mundial de servicios innovadores de transferencias de dinero, y First Book, organización sin fines de lucro con sede en los Estados Unidos, celebraron recientemente la donación de una subvención de US$ 15,000 de la MoneyGram Foundation para el Child Resiliency Program (Programa de Resiliencia para Niños). El dinero ayudará a comprar 10,000 libros nuevos, adecuados a la edad y culturalmente relevantes, del First Book Global Marketplace (Mercado Global de First Book) y el First Book National Book Bank (Banco Nacional de Libros de First Bank).

"La educación es esencial para el crecimiento y el desarrollo económico, pues ofrece a los niños la oportunidad de adquirir el conocimiento y las habilidades que necesitan para transformar sus vidas", afirma Lisa Rostov, directora sénior de Marketing para América Latina y el Caribe. "La MoneyGram Foundation se enorgullece de ser parte de este evento de donación, y estamos entusiasmados por trabajar con First Book y el Child Resiliency Program en Jamaica para cumplir el compromiso de MoneyGram de apoyar programas que lleguen a las comunidades que necesitan recursos educativos y acceso a la educación básica".

Más de 60 estudiantes en riesgo que se estaban graduando en el Kingston YMCA Child Resiliency Program se unieron a líderes comunitarios locales y representantes de MoneyGram y el Child Resiliency Program en una ceremonia en la que los estudiantes recibieron certificados de finalización, así como libros y bolsas para libros de texto.

El First Book Global Marketplace es una plataforma digital que ofrece a colegios y centros comunitarios de bajos recursos que atienden a niños necesitados una oportunidad para adquirir libros nuevos y recursos educativos a muy bajo precio. El First Book National Book Bank ofrece grandes volúmenes de libros a las escuelas y los programas elegibles al costo de los gastos de envío. First Book suma estos recursos mediante el trabajo con editores y fabricantes para mejorar el acceso educativo para los niños necesitados.
