Whew, we are running a week behind on our project due to illness and our daily lives being out of the norm. I think we are finally on the rebound and I pray that we stay healthy for awhile! People have been a little crabby around our house, so we are working on being kind to each other at home as well as thinking of others.
This week we purchased extra books from our Scholastic order to give to others. This is a project that is very important to me, as the literacy problems in this country for young children are just not acceptable. Before Christmas we collected money and purchased sixty books and now we are adding fifteen more. I am working with a dear friend on a project that would involved providing books for those in our community that are in need. This has the potential to be a big undertaking, but we are just in the beginning stages of our idea. I am excited about the potential it has!
If your children are in school and have the opportunity to purchase through Scholastic, how easy would it be to pick up some extra books each month to donate? They have many books that are only $1 and your money can stretch quite far at that rate! Make it even more meaningful for your children and pick out some of their favorite books to donate. You could donate your books to organizations that work with kids, schools, or social service agencies. What a great gift to give!
