And just like that, we have done it.
I can’t begin to stress how thankful I am for everyone who helped me achieve this goal. In the end, we managed to collect about 1,300 books and about $500. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
On September 13th, with the help of my wonderful parents and brother, I mailed 20 boxes of books to the warehouse in New Orleans. From there, the books will be sent to Ghana where they will find their new home.
My main goal with this project was to bring happiness to young readers. The same feeling that I got when I picked up a book when I was younger. I can only hope for the best, but I have a pretty good feeling that I have done exactly what I wanted to do.
Unfortunately, due to an increase in shipping cost, we do not have the amount of money needed to contribute to the International Shipping Fee. We are short about $150 and any donation will help. I am still collecting monetary donations through the end of the month.
Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your help.
Mah Krow,
Gabi
