Theodor Geisel Takes a Trip

Your books (200 of them) are traveling 8,000 miles to fill the shelves of a Ugandan library, created by Connect Africa. A kid that perhaps has never seen a picture book before can now indulge in Dr. Seuss. Forty bookmarks, made by people from ages 7-17, will be distributed there. How wonderful?!

I am going to contradict myself by saying that the distance does not matter. We are finding need and filling it. We have been fortunate to donate locally, regionally, and now internationally. But the miles do not equate to impact.  We You possess something--a skill, an item, an idea, a minute that can make a positive difference. Never underestimate it.

"If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world on fire." -Saint Catherine of Siena

I must now go back to the drawing board, because this was the extent of the dream for Robin Hood Reads.  Thank you for making RHR's dream come true. I pray that you continue to pursue new ones with us.
