You're really an inspiration. Friends of ours in Manila have put-up a small daycare center, to reach out to the poor. In nation-transformation, they see the task as reaching out 1-family-at-a-time. We're trying to be part of that project. Re books, we need them in nation-building -- to spark imagination, to inspire young kids, to build knowledge ... I'll organize something with my friends in Manila, so those who can donate books know what types of book (maybe even age group of kids) will be suitable. Way to go MM! You’re really an inspiration.

We weren't sure where we could donate the books but I was thinking we'd figure it out. A few days later some college students literally knocked on our door and asked if we had any books to donate because they were collecting books for donation to a public school's library. We unloaded over a hundred books straightaway. =) In any case I think we still have a lot of reading material lying around in various black holes (as I'm sure many other households with grown up children do) ... MARKETMAN: let us know what kind of children's books you want to gather and I'm sure you'll get a lot of donations.

When I was in a book sale here in LA I heard the coordinator say that the books that were'nt sold were going to be donated in schools there in the Philippines. I just hope they did ahaha =]] If only I saw your post earlier I couldh’ve commented as well, bless you MM for your good deeds!
