Story

Hello everyone,

We are Mel Grady and Gayle Darlington and we are the Campus Book Drive Project Leaders at the University of Bedfordshire on the Bedford campus.

Read International is an organisation where university students collect unwanted books across campus with the use of Drop Boxes. We collect books throughout the year and, during the summer, we take them to schools in Tanzania and Uganda. These books can range from school textbooks to children/teen fiction novels.

Any donations made go towards shipping costs for the books.
