We met the half way
mark of our fund-raising goal at the end of January 2011 and the full amount
for the container ($19,200) was met by mid-May 2011.
Meanwhile in the Peterson garage and basement books kept
arriving. Sorting and boxing continued. By early May we had 36
boxes packed and ready to ship to the BFA warehouse in Atlanta, to be placed
into our container bound for Namibia.
Approximately 1,000 books were donated by friends throughout the Midwest and made
the journey to Namibia. All the remaining
books came to our project (fulfilling the requests by the schools) through
Books for Africa. We simply cannot
say enough about this great organization!
