Another worthy book project
In an effort to increase the literacy of thousands of rural Ghanaian children and their parents, the Digital Literacy Alliance, Inc.(A Not For Profit Organization) is currently sponsoring "The Books and Bucks" drive. I am on the Executive Committee of the DLA and am strongly urging my e-correspondents to contribute to this effort.
Book donations will be collected to furnish the Yaa Nyarkoa Library and serve the 20,000 people of two towns, Agona Duakwa and Agona Nsaba. This is a grass-roots effort that needs your support.
To take part in this drive, simply collect books from your attic, basement,friends, neighbors and co-workers and donate -or ask the donors to give- a dollar per book that will be used for shipping costs to Ghana. If you are a school teacher, please consider making this a class, or even school, project.
If you live in the New York area, I will be glad to come and collect the books from you. If you are in another part of the country - or world - email me and we can make arrangements to get the books from you to the library.
Please email Rasul to make arrangements to send your book donations to:
Mr. Rasul Murray
Library Fund Coordinator
P.O. Box 05042, 4 Pratt Station
Brooklyn, NY 11205-0424
e-mail: [email protected]
Your tax deductible donation will help support our campaign to increase the access to literature and improve the literacy skills of all those who are eager to learn. Your generous contribution to education will ensure that the dream of book accessibility in these two villages becomes a reality.
