LBBC's Book Drive Update

Hola, Everyone!

Just wanted to remind you all that this is the last weekend for shipping books for the LBBC's book drive benefitting Peruvian Hearts. Sunday is just a general guideline by which you should mail your books, you don't have to have them there by then. And if you can't mail them until Monday or Tuesday, no problem! So if you still have a stash of books that you are planning to send, go ahead and send them the cheapest way possible (media mail) and I'm sure they will accept them!

Overall, I am so very happy with the amount of participation from our readers. Thank you all so very, very much for your generosity! I was ecstatic when Danny Dodson, who is Anna's brother and Peruvian Hearts' Executive Director, sent me this email:

"Hey Monica,
I think we have probably received about 40 books so far from the drive, which is awesome! It's been fun getting the packages with "LBBC" on them. We even received the entire set of Harry Potter books in Spanish :)
Thank you so much again for all the support you have given Peruvian Hearts. The children will absolutely love getting all of these books!
Talk soon,
Danny"

What a great way to start off the month of Día de los Libros/Día de los Niños! And to celebrate and show our appreciation, at the end of this month we will be giving away a book a day during the last week of April. So be sure to keep us bookmarked!
