My story

 

We are in the process of collecting 40 000 unwanted school textbooks around East Anglia destined for the skip and raising £7500 to ship 25 000 of them (the good quality, relevent ones) to Tanzania where the curriculum is virtually identical, but they have no funding to buy books. In the UK we THROW GOOD BOOKS AWAY.

For every 50p we raise that is enough for us to send ONE of these textbooks which has a value of £11 to a school in Tanzania. So your 50p has a value of £11 (in educational resources).

This project is run by enthusiastic volunteers at UEA who would love to hear from you if you think you can help in some way, or just want more information email us at: norwich@readbookproject.org.uk

Or check out our website: http://www.readinternational.org.uk/university/12/norwich/ 

Get supporting that daring someone who is bungee jumping for READ! Rebound for READ takes place on Sunday 31 May on the UEA Campus with Sky High Bungee.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: READ International gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
