Five young Dominicans from the northwestern province of Valverde hope to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records for a reading aloud marathon by a team for more than 224 hours. The former record had been set in 2009 by a team from the Miami Dade College during an International Book Fair.
Martha Ester Madera Baez, Carlos Jose Reyes, Cristian Rodriguez Morrobel, Randolfo Ariostto Jimenez Perez and Jose Manuel Bueno Grullon celebrated the record-breaking mark at 11pm on Sunday. They plan to continue reading till they reach 365 hours. Their message is to encourage Dominicans and young people around the world to read for at least one hour a day. The Ministry of Youth is sponsoring the initiative.
To comply with the Guinness World Records organization guidelines, the team must remain on the premises for the entire length of the attempt. Also, by mandate of the Guinness World Records, the entire event area must remain open for public and media viewing.
