Who We Are

Our Programs

A)  Maintaining a "safe" penpal list so that teachers in the USA can find teachers in other countries that have confirmed Skype and/or Facebook (social media) connections.

B) Collecting and distributing ebooks and educational lectures on mp3 and mp4.  We put these items on CDs (15 cents each) and DVDs (25 cents each) and given them to teachers, students, parents and stakeholders in schools.  Some favorites include Dan Pink, Ken Robinson, Sugata Mitra, Dennis Yuzenas, Dennis Littky.  We use disk duplicators.

C)  Getting computers into homes, community centers and schools so that students can use computers to learn and/or connect with Skype.  BIB does not buy computers but we can help schools and individuals connect with potential donors of working pre-owned computers.
