Rotary District 7150 is pleased
to announce the birth of the District 7150 Books for the World project.
Thanks
to the efforts of some very dedicated Rotarians, the support of the District
Literacy committee and a community minded shipper, the project is now ready to
bring the gift of books and literacy to the children of third world countries.
What
is it? - Books
for the World is designed to be collaborative effort between Rotary Clubs,
their affiliated youth clubs, and other community and service organizations
to provide surplus children’s K-6th grade picture/story and textbooks to
regions in the world that are in need of these materials to create a
opportunities for a better way of life. The initial focus and book shipments
will go to the Rotary District 9300 Distribution Center in Johannesburg
Republic of South Africa to be distributed to countries in the southern regions
of Africa, where English is one of the primary business languages.
The
“District 7150 Books for the World” committee provides each participating club
with general book types and descriptions, packing materials (at cost) along
with instructions and delivery information. The books are to be delivered to a central marshaling warehouse location in CNY
(Lasertransit).
As
boxed books are received they will be weighed, pelletized and wrapped for
shipment to Rotary Books for the World located in Houston Texas. In the Houston
location they will be combined and placed in containers with other donated
books and shipped to Johannesburg.
Where
are these books currently hiding? - Closets, book shelves, storage areas of homes,
libraries, schools and churches, all looking for a home and children to read,
learn from, love and cherish them. By combining our resources, we have give
these books a fresh start, and make a significant difference in the life of the
children of the world.
Rotary
Clubs are asked to please share information about this project among themselves
and with their your youth clubs (Rotaract, Interact, Early Act, Rotakid) and
any other youth group and concerned organizations in your communities.
The
Holiday Season is an excellent time to start the project, since it will give us
an opportunity to share our gifts with the children of the world.
To
learn more about the project, its logistics and costs, and the areas of Africa
we are currently serving, visit the Web site at: http://www.d7150booksfortheworld.org/Home.html
