This non-governmental
organization(NGO) is made up of volunteers for whom a book is much
more than a decorative piece over a coffee table. Their team work,
a non-profit effort, is centered in the gathering of funds from a
variety of schools (K - 12), editorial companies, and other
organizations to distribute books in less favored countries of
the world. Their mark has been felt in many regions worldwide
where children now can learn to read all of those stories that
have comforted us in our childhood.
Those stories helped us to broaden our
perspectives form our realities and allowed us to learn better
ways to communicate. We learned, produced, imagined, ... we just
grew up with their lessons! And now, Books for the World is giving
the same chance to children around the world!
The simple conclusion would be that for an
underdeveloped region or a developing country, in order to face
the future with hope, it becomes imperative to possess the option
to know and learn its past and future potential. Thus, to develop a
library is a gift beyond help. It is evident then that there is a
direct connection between knowledge and development. Books for
the World aims to shorten the gap between the two.
