John Woods (the founder of the organization) book has also been quite riveting. Thanks for mentioning Book Aid International - I had not heard of them before. Too bad that BAI appears to be based in the UK only. The UNICEF gift you received sounds great (I can't help but imagine a photo of all the pencils would be cool to see on a blog or on flickr!). It sounds like you had a very positive Christmas. So delighted that you found this interesting and worthy of support. John Woods (the founder of the organization) book has also been quite riveting.

I will add this organization to my list. I received a thoughtful birthday present last year - a donation to Book Aid international: http://www.bookaid.org/cms.cgi/site/index.htm. And in more literacy related gifts, this year my mum's Christmas present from me was 625 pencils and four story books from UNICEF. Her academic career has always been focused on women and education, both formal and iinformal, so I will pass this on to her as well. thanks for the info Bruce!
