These books are all in top condition but they have been read. They have an arrangement with Better World Books but as i am not in USA i can't even donate them to room to read through this arrangement. So i am still looking for schools or organisations which could use these books...amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487787349887335194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186610951241594469.post-34920461407776933512011-10-30T10:08:05.770+05:302011-10-30T10:08:05.770+05:30It's not always a good thing that English is t...It's not always a good thing that English is the dominant language, but I guess it is what it is.

In most of the country 90%of classes are taught using Nepali language and books etc are Nepali too. English books would be welcomed because reading English is vital for their improvement and growth. And to break the cycle of poverty, the fact is many need to learn English to succeed in other countries. The problem I have is how to get these donations over there. If you find any ways that offer free or low shipping for charitable donations, please let me know as I would have many I'd like to donate.whitegirlinasarihttp://www.whitegirlinasari.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
