We started to collect used English children’s books here in San Francisco. In 2001, we shipped 2700 books and 15 boxes to Palindan thru the help and support of 78 caring human beings who were family members, friends, and co-workers, and the libraries. Lorena, Arniel, and Gil gave the books directly to 245 school children of Palindan Elementary School on November 2, 2001. Lorena, Arniel, and Gil are Books for Love volunteers who traveled to Palindan, Ibaan, Batangas, Philippines.
Books for Love 2002, 1500 books in 10 boxes were shipped that was used to start the first library of the school and the mini libraries in each classrooms. Myself, Leilani and Arniel were there August 6-9, 2002 and saw how the main library and the mini libraries were set up.

I am glad to see that all of the project's hard work and connections helped both communities. Education and books are easy to over look now a days. Espically when there are Iphones and many viedo games for kids to play. I hope these efforts have inspired others to contribute, as the project has to the greater good.
