The basics

This post always remains on top. Please scroll down for updates.
What am I doing?
Sending English kids' books to poor schools in Israel, particularly to the Bedouin schools in the Negev.

Why am I doing it?
Because I believe in giving a hand up to needy kids and in the power of communication to break down barriers.

How does this work?
I collect books from whoever has them available (maybe you?) and mail them to my contacts in Israel.

How much does it cost?
Lots! Please donate to this worthy cause and you will get a hand-knit gift for your trouble.

Who am I?
I am just a person with piles of books in her living room and an infinitely-supportive husband. Any people or organizations who want to help out are welcome to join me.

What is I want to read about your knitting and book reviews and cats?
Check out Nina's Books and Stuff. But please come back here for more Israeli Bedouin news and B4I project updates!

We love our donors!

Molly puts her drool of approval on another Basil, which is going to a donor this week.




Updates: The Friday Ark boarded this Friday at The Modulator. Weekend Cat Blogging will be up at What Did You Eat? soon. Meanwhile, you can drool at the pretty food pictures. Carnival of the Cats is home at TBIFOC.

Food for thought: Obviously, my cause is the best cause in the blogosphere. Gimme money! But if you want to see (and contribute to) generosity in action, you could do worse than visiting Cat Blogosphere to see virtual strangers in cat guise cheerfully helping each other out of tough spots. When I try to explain the blogging cat phenomenon to people ("yeah, they are people, see, but they pretend to be cats, see, and put their diaries online for other cat-people to read, see?"), it sounds daft. But when you look at the actual cats who blog, they make some human people seem inadequate.
