Books 4 Hope – 300 Campaign: Give a gift of a lifetime this Christmas

From time to time students here in America complain of having too many textbooks to carry from class to class. While this is a problem it does not compare at all to having no textbooks.

Back in Kenya, Africa our four partner schools are lacking with sufficient textbooks. In addition a school of about 200 students has only about 30-40 library books. If we really believe in providing quality education to bring hope to the continent of Africa this has to change.

Five students share one textbook at one of our partner schools

And the change starts with YOU.

Starting January 2010 to March 2010 we are kicking a fundraiser for Books 4 Hope where we need 300 people to donate $20 for 3 months consecutively. $20 too much, don’t sweat it we have 3 donor levels $20, $10 and $5. Each month’s donations will fund the three parts of the program: textbooks, library books and computers.

Will you be 1 of the 300!

How far will you $20 go…

• 4 Schools in Kenya will be benefiting form this program.
• Each school will receive 400 textbooks, a total of 1600 textbooks.
• Each school will receive over 500 library books, a total of over 2000 library books
• Each school will receive 5 computers, total of 20 computers.
