this is me, helping you declutter your home!

IF you live in the portland area ... and
IF you have one or more books that you don't read ... and
IF you already tried selling the books at powells and they wouldn't take them ... and
IF the books are in halfway good condition ...

i know what you can do with them!

africa new life ministries is a totally awesome organization that is doing great work in rwanda. seriously, check them out. (we sponsor little adelaide, an 11-year-old rwandan girl through anlm. they rock.) btw - unrelated - i heard about anlm from kristal - whose blog also rocks. :)

any-hoo, anlm is building a school - kigali bible college - that will open in january 2011, and they need books! the kigali kollection committee (yeah, i know, you'd think a bunch of book collectors would know how to spell...) set a goal of 5,000 books by may 15, and are sooo close! according to african accreditation standards, a library must have 10,000 books ... so that's the end goal.

for details on the the book collecting project, check out dr. garry friesen's (highly entertaining) blog posts here, here, and here, (in that order).

so ... what can you do with the books? get them to multnomah university, or just bring them to me!!! i will haul the books in for you - i'll even pick them up from you! (if you live in the gresham area ...)
so leave me a comment here, on facebook, plurk, twitter, email, phone ... ya know ...
