Book Campaign marching forward

The Tanzania Book Raffle campaign was launched this Thanksgiving weekend. Happily, Nick is able to travel to Tanzania in January, so we can buy the books there, supporting the local economy and cutting postage costs.

Nick and I have collected books (dictionaries, novels) which we will ship to Tanzania in December. We imagine that he will be in Tanzania when they arrive and he can work with the teachers at the school to set up the library with the books we send and purchase there.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this important cause. Also, I have loaded the video that the 11th grade students and I made about these students and their school. The captions are missing from this version, but I think you'll be able to get the message. Also check out my Tanzania Beauties video. It's a homage to the incredible women and girls in Tanzania.
