Strenghen the Good
One of the joys of being part of a larger community of weblogs is finding others who care about what is going on in the world . . . and then take steps to make it better. Alan from The Command Post did just that when he started a new website, Strengthen The Good, with the goal: "Using the power of weblogs for open-source charity. Don't just fight evil: Strengthen the good."
Here is the latest opportunity
. . . Douglas Dart, has been a friend of mine for decades. Douglas, his wife, and his three young daughters are currently spending a year living in Bratislava, Slovakia. Doug's (unpaid) mission: teach English and American Studies to Slovakian high school students at a school called The C.S. Lewis Bilingual Gymnaziumin in Bratislava's Petrzalka district. |
A stumbling block to his mission is the lack of English books. So, Alan proposes that we help.
Here's how we can help strengthen the good: Below is a list of books the school needs for the English and American Studies programs ... the items with an asterisk are those for which they need several copies (as many as twenty each to use for literature classes). Anything else they will use to build the library. |
Click here for a list of books and how to send them. You can make a difference.
