Share the Love Valentine Textbook Drive



Just look at the smiling faces of our sponsored children on Valentine's Day as they received special friendship treats from their sponsors!  This was part of our February “Share the Love” Textbook Drive!  Our supporters answered our call and donated enough books to fully fund the offer of one of our sponsors to match up to 25 math texts for each of Form 1 and Form 2. In fact with the matching fund, Form 1 will receive 50 new math texts and Form 2 will receive 51 new math texts.  Our “Share the Love” Textbook drive continued with a second matching fund for any textbook purchased for Form 1 or Form 2 up to an additional $42.  That matching fund was also met for a total of another $82 for Form 1 and Form 2 texts or revision books (school's choice), in record time!  

In addition, we raised another $62 for the general textbook fund, PLUS several sponsors purchasing child-specific textbooks for grades 3 through form 4 in January and in February!  This is what we mean by PLANT-A-BOOK!  Thank you so much for participating!

Here are some more sweet faces of our sponsored students on Valentine's Day, courtesy of our visiting sponsor Katja.  Thanks for the fantastic photos, Katja!
