Building Libraries, Building Lives

WANTED

Primary School Reading Books

Must be in GOOD condition

As part of our commitment to the Pitileti School and Escola Pre-Secondaria Foho Ailico schools in Timor Leste we are holding a book drive. We are looking for donations of primary school reading books to help school children in Timor Leste learn to read and write in English. There is great desire to learn English so we would like to build a library in each school full of books that will give students the opportunity to learn.

So if your kids are finished with their primary school readers, please donate them. Books will be collected and delivered to Timor Leste with the kind help of Rotary. Books can be sent to:

The Grub Club
30 Lyon St
Bellingen, NSW, 2454
or Debbie Locke
68 Elizabeth Ave
Forest Hill, NSW, 2651
