Book Project Update

I am so grateful to everyone who read my last blog post and decided to generously donate to my book project.  I am happy to report that I received the first book on Saturday, and I am excited to add it to my growing library so the students can enjoy it!

This blog post is just a reminder to anyone who may have read my previous post and though, “Oh yeah, that project sounds like a good idea. I’ll order a book for those beautiful kids in Ambo, Ethiopia.”  So if you thought about it, but got sidetracked by life and didn’t quite get around to choosing a book (or books) to send, now is your chance!  I’ve updated the list of requested books to reflect the books that have already been ordered, but again, I am really happy and interested to hear of any books that you may choose on your own.

Please refer to my previous blog post for instructions on contributing to this book project.  Don’t forget to email me with the books you wish to send.  Thanks again to everyone who is helping me help my community!  Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
