Project Apollonia - A Very Good Cause

David Anderson at In Search of Utopia would love your assistance in meeting the goals of a project aimed at bringing 10,000 books to the school children of Costa Rica: Project Apollonia.

Now, as a writer and someone who credits reading and books with her evolution, I'd love to see this one fly. They've even arranged an ultra-convenient Florida mailing address so US contributors don't have to muck around with international mailing.

Note, too, that they're looking for English language books.

Imagine also what books mean to you... and imagine their special meaning to poor children who may be able to use them as a ticket out of economic and educational poverty. As an added incentive, it's the EXACT thing someone like BushCo would not like since they see anyone outside of Texas and the Bible Belt as their own personal poverty-level labor force.

What a beautiful idea!
