We are working with the African Library Project to provide books to eager readers in Africa who have very few books. Please help us by collecting and delivering gently used books or by raising money to help pay for shipping to Africa. It takes only 1000 books and $500 (plus a little elbow grease!) to start a single library and make a huge difference in children’s lives.
This book drive is organized by ...
Tony Liu in Pearland, TX. I am a high school freshman student and enjoy reading. I started an English club that benefits students who wish to improve their English skills in China. Recently, I learned that many countries in West Africa have experienced closings of their schools due to epidemics and diseases. I decided to be involved in African Library Project in an effort to help improve literacy in Africa.
