READ International

Between 01 January 2009 and 31 May 2009, in Liverpool

READ International is a charity, nationally franchised amongst Universities, aimed at collecting old text books and sending them to school children in Tanzania.

The event went very well, hiring a minibus for the day. Volunteers had rang schools before to organise the collection of books, then collected them, before stacking and packing them for sending to Africa.

University of Liverpool, and several Merseyside schools were very helpful in this event.

READ now need to fundraise to send money to Africa. Check out the ethical trade fair on the 21st March; get in touch for more information.

If you're not on Merseyside, check for a READ International meeting in your area.
