Remember the picture book drive that I organized for my stepdaughter, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Africa? To see my initial post, click here. Thanks to the generosity of SCBWI Illinois, librarians, teachers and other donors, I ended up collecting nine boxes of books. Next challenge: how to get said boxes to Africa? Answer: the wonderful Lesotho Nutrition Initiative took them alongside their nutrition packages for the children of Lesotho. Several months later, the books arrived and Lepholisa Primary School has the beginnings of a new school library. Check out the thank you photos below.
