Sponsored by: Association for India Development (AID)

The idea is simple:

Starting Children's libraries in 5000 villages with just a box of books, and a motivated volunteer who ensures that the books are used effectively.

Where children are first generation learners, where their homes have
never seen a book before, in those remote villages, this simple
project will light up the lives of children with books, story cards, and experiments. But, We need YOUR help!


All the projects on the Amex competition need to be voted on to get
selected. Please vote and nominate this project and make it a reality for
300,000 underprivileged children in India who have never been exposed to a book. To nominate this project, please use this link and click on "Nominate this project":

If the website does not allow you to view the page directly, then go to:

http://www.membersproject.com/ and search for:
"Library in a box" and then click on "Nominate this project".


The deadline is on September 1st - only 22hours.30mins away. Please help us
reach the target. Our goal is to get at least 5000 nominations for
this project. Your one step can help us raise $1.5 Million and make the 5000 children's libraries a reality.

Kelli S., Suzanna V. and myself honestly and sincerely thank all who have noted, commented and taken action.

May the Creator bless the unfortunate for those who know not. It is the weak and helpless who suffer undeservingly, yet would offer the world in return.

IF they only could.

AMEN.
