September 2011 Update
We are just beginning to plan for the 2012 container. We are only accepting monetary donations at this time (not donations of books) as I have no warehouse space to keep the books until 3 months before we ship to Botswana.
All $ donations are gratefully accepted.
Please follow instructions on the HOW TO DONATE page.

The book container, approx 30,000 Books was off loaded,
all boxes were emptied into piles on the floor and then selected by over 90 organizations.
These are only a few of the photos...more upcoming !!
The books are making a huge difference in the Botswana Libraries...
