Help bring books to the lonely shelves at a local primary school library in Gore, Ethiopia! Over the summer, I am arranging a book drive to bring interesting, engaging and level- appropriate books to the students at Gore 04/01 Primary School, who currently only have dictionaries and grammar books available to them. These books will help students to learn English and encourage a reading culture that will follow them for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, upon arrival of the books, I will create comprehension questions which will then by used in a reading competition in the coming semester, so these books are sure to see good use! By using Better World Books (www.betterworldbooks.com), a company that provides FREE shipping everywhere in the world, you can help stock our library with a variety of great books. The website works much like Amazon in the way that you search and select books, but when you check-out simply put in my address (P.O Box #32, Gore, Illubabor, Oromia, Ethiopia) and in three to four weeks beautiful books will arrive all the way over here in Ethiopia Below is a list of recommended books, although feel free to send anything you think would be culturally appropriate and at a good level for ESL students from KG- 8th Grade. I will update the list when I receive or hear that books have been ordered so we don't get too many repeats.
