Got this from one of my frens.
Books To Read Book Collection Drive - 13th Dec 2008
As some of you are aware about Books To Read (BTR), with which I have been involved in the last few months. In short, it is an initiative by a group of young volunteers that aims to re-distribute used secondary school text books to schools lacking educational resources in Africa. Launched in 2008, Books To Read's flagship project SAIL (Singapore-Africa Initiative for Learning) aims to raise a minimum of 1,000-3,000 used textbooks for re-distribution to government-aided secondary schools in Nigeria, Zambia and Sudan.
Overseas, books will be used in the daily education of children working toward their Key Stage 3 and GCSE equivalent exams as well as go their general reading categories in their poorly resourced libraries.
Ideally, we would appreciate textbooks such as:
- Secondary 1-4 English-based textbooks (Subject: English, Maths and Science)
- English literature / story books
- General Knowledge/Education text books
- No magazines or materials with religious / explicit content
And to fulfill this dream of providing books to children, we need your help and your books. If you have books to donate which can be used for the kids of the african schools, please reply to this email with the following information:
