Here’s a letter from Pat Plonski, the
Executive Director of Books for Africa, with an email message from a
recent recipient of a container of 35,000 books, which left the Books
for Africa warehouse in July:
Hey guys! Just got this message from Guinea where a Better World Books Fund-sponsored container just landed. As you see, they are very happy! This e-mail speaks for itself. The Better World Books Fund paid the full cost of this container ($9,000), so all of the credit is yours! Thanks.
