Book Donation Idea

Last night, I was telling my Mom and Sis about Pinoy Generation and what we are hoping to do and accomplish with this. And they were just as excited about it as I am. They gave me an idea to start with.....

BOOK DONATIONS

The whole idea is to try to gather and collect as many old books (textbooks, etc) and send them to a specific school or whoever needs them in the Philippines via Balikbayan boxes. My Mom's even willing to pay for one box. Hopefully, we can also find others who are generous enough to spare some money or at least, their old books. I'm positive that we can collect many many books, old textbooks that no one uses anymore, even the public libraries have really old books to giveaway and even schools. Maybe we can ask them to donate those to our cause.

We need to research where to send these old books too, and I'm sure a lot of kids, especially in Public Schools and Provinces, will need them and find a lot of use for these old books that we just ignore and take for granted. I know I have thrown a few old books into recycling.

I know this is not going to be easy, but I also know it won't be that difficult. Even so, we should at least try. What do you all think of this idea? Is it something we should pursue and take on?
