Ethiopia Reads

I just learned about this great charity -- Ethiopia Reads -- which provides books and supplies and builds libraries for children in Ethiopia. There are a number of ways to donate, but here are just a few:

• $1 buys one book;
• $500 provides an Ethiopian with a scholarship to receive library training;
• $6000 provides a fully-functional library!

There are also great ideas for teachers and librarians to bring the program into their schools -- from penny wars to raise money for books, to planning reading nights at school, to sending student-created books to these libraries in Ethiopia. Check it out!
