As you,our generous supporters, will have seen from my last report : we have concluded 'books-by-the-palletload-for-african-children'
AND
would love to have you on board for our next literacy project.
Book Relief's founder, the late Barry Evetts, had started finding out about 'Prison Literacy' nearly two years ago
and so we (current Book Relief UK trustees) decided that, once the Palletload project was completed, we would begin
this as a new project.
So we are starting by working with the Shannon Trust and have had a proposal from them to contribute towards the
book(Turning Pages) they use for their literacy work within the prison service. Their website is well woth visiting and I attach a link later in this brief report.
I have also, on Book Relief's behalf, been in touch with another charity, recommended by GlobalGiving, called Prisoners Advice,and we may perhaps have mutual interests. Again their website is well worth visiting and I give link elsewher in this report.
Can I , once again thank you all for your support with 'Pallets' ,our initial project with GlobalGiving, and hope that you
may feel it right to continue with us (BRUK) or this second project.
