Bon voyage, Nick!

Well, our dear Mr. Kudreiko is probably in-flight to Tanzania as I write this post. Nick has gone back to Moshi and St. Theresia to purchase text books for the kids from money raised, organize the installment of the library with books we sent and books I have purchased, and find out other ways we can continue to help St. Theresia and other schools in the Moshi area. So stay tuned for his posts in the next weeks. Nick is planning to stay in Tanzania for two months. Lucky man.

I have sent in an order to Oxford University Press (OUI) for 100 abridged readers. You can see a selection of the titles on the side bar of this blog. I was particularly happy that OUI has African authors included in their Bookworms series (abridged readers for English learners). OUI rocks! We have been offered a 40% discount on books at OUI for this charitable cause. That's much more than I had hoped we could get. Also, Brandon Doble, the OUI rep here in California, is working on getting the books purchased and shipped in Africa, either Tanzania or South Africa. So it's all working out good so far.

I am still collecting funds to buy books for the school as well, either to purchase more books from OUI or to send to Nick for textbooks in Tanzania. So, donations can be sent to Denise McCarthy, 1122 Delaware Street, Berkeley, CA 94702. Unfortunately, I've run out of "Thank you" gifts!

Stay tuned for Nick's Moshi Posts!
