The money raised helps pay for the shipping as one book can cost up to 50p to take from a school in England into the hands of a teacher in Uganda. Very often we throw away old copies of books which have been updated when they are still in great condition. This initiative is a fantastic way of helping give children a good start in education using items we may have otherwise thrown out.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;
