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!
