Story

Hey everyone,

I am going to run about 21km (21,000m :(  to raise funds for the Warwick Read Book Project! To be honest, I don’t know how I will manage to do that, or at least manage to survive after such a marathon…

However, no matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it gets, I will do it, cos I know it will help a lot of poor children. After getting involved in the Warwick Read Book Project, I was totally fascinated by the way we help poor children in Tanzania and Uganda. We collect any books from anyone, anywhere throughout the UK, sort the books and then send them to schools in Tanzania and Uganda!

You know what, a mere 75p is sufficient to send a book! My aim is to send as many books as possible. So please donate my project, I would really appreciate your support.  And then you can see our achievements through my pictures in Tanzania! I am going to Tanzania this summer for a 7-week project to distribute such textbooks and will try to take lots of pictures to show you!

 

All the best,

Thai Son
