Project developments to date:
• The University of Pau (in southwestern France) has donated €200 worth of comic books to our cause.
• We have contacted several publishing houses in the UK to see if they would be willing to donate some books, for example copies that cannot be sold due to printing errors.
• We have purchased some gently-used comic books on eBay using initial financial contributions from friends.
• Our travel plans have been made: we will be visiting the camp at the end of February to personally present the books to the residents of the children’s home.
So far we’ve received around €200 in financial donations, but we will still need another €500 or so to buy the rest of the books needed (€250), drawing materials (€50), a special meal for the 100 kids (€50) and some additional vitamins for them (€50) and to pay the driver who will be taking the two of us out to the remote jungle camp and back (€100).
What else you can do:
If you don’t have any books to give, but would still like to help, please consider making a financial contribution. Just €10 or $10 per person will be enough for us to buy more books (comics, illustrated books, fairy tales and audio books) and cover other miscellaneous expenses. We will be paying for our airfare to Thailand ourselves.
If you’re in the US, you can send a check made out in US dollars to our contact in the United States. If you’re in Europe, please either send a check made out in euros to the project coordinators in France, or ask us for our bank details if you prefer a bank transfer.
If you’d like to make a financial contribution, please let us know before 10 February. Book contributions must be received by the project coordinators in Paris by 18 February (we’ll send you the relevant postal addresses by e-mail).
Thanks again for your support! After our return from Thailand you’ll be able to see a heart-warming slideshow of the children receiving your gifts.
