November Challenge: Book Drive!

November 3rd, 2009 at 6:46 pm

This month’s challenge is unlike anything we’ve ever done before. Now through November 20, we need you to collect used books — a few of your own laying around the house, or run a campus-wide book drive — for the Liberian Literacy Foundation.

Maisie, Emily, ONE member Tiffany and our friend Victor Helb from the Liberian Literacy Foundation explain the challenge in this short-but-sweet video:

The Liberian Literacy Foundation collects books to either use as learning materials or sell to raise money for building environmentally-responsible literacy institutions. Literacy is a key tool in the fight against global poverty and disease — it can help promote better health, spur economic growth and empower citizens to hold their governments accountable. Every single book you donate will help families and communities in Liberia to take one more step in escaping the cycle of extreme poverty.
