Hey Darren, great job for doing this. I hope my little bit of promoting will help some. It’s encouraging to see so many people pull through with the donations, but let’s see how much more we can get!

I’ve just donated and will also promote via my blog. What a great cause. Good on you for being part of helping these kids.

What a worthy cause. It is always a humbling privilege to be able to help children.

You know, B&N has free shipping right now, and lots of books in the clearance section for a dollar or less. Course I’m not sure if the free shipping would apply to Australia…

Just sharing…

Hi Darren

I’ve shared with the world!

I’ll also ask around a few corporate contacts (since I live in the ethical world of CSR for a living) to see if they want to help.

Great effort!!

This is a fantastic project. I teach remedial reading to first and second graders and some of them have never had a book read to them before they come to school. I, too, have many books that I would love to share as my grandchildren have outgrown them. Please share an address to ship them to.
My goal in life is to instill a love of reading in the children I work with–if you can’t read you are a lost soul.

Darren, good on you for publicising this. The ability to read is the key to all learning. I am sure I could gather some books from our local homeschooling families. We are all single income families and don’t have a huge amount of spare cash, but we often have books available. Are you able to email me an address for Andrea?

I have a bunch of books I could donate…as long as they don’t mind the American spellings. :)

Nice post. Children are important and it breaks my heart to hear stories like this.

Hey Darren,
I have a box of children’s books at home which has been sitting in my room for ages. I’d like to donate them but i’m in Singapore. Is there a way I can freight them over to Andrea or to where the children are? Please email me!~ ^.^

Thanks!! :)
