HOOPOE BOOKS FOR PAKISTAN

Your donation is desperately needed.  Hoopoe Books/Share Literacy is now collaborating with DIL (Developments in Literacy) to donate these beautiful children's books by Idries Shah to the children they serve.  DIL runs 150 schools serving approximately 15,000 children, especially girls, in underdeveloped regions in Pakistan.

These will be bilingual English and Urdu editions, so that children can read the Urdu translation and the English on the facing page.  We are currently in the process of translating these titles and preparing the output files. The first two titles will be: The Lion Who Saw Himself in the Water and The Clever Boy and the Terrible, Dangerous Animal.

          

We will have them printed in Peshawar by Khatiz Organization for Rehabilitation (KOR), who are also printing our Dari and Pashto editions for Afghanistan. DIL will distribute the books to the children attending their schools. We need money to print and transport these books to DIL.  Please give as much as you can.  The cost of pre-production, printing and delivering 10,000 books will be 84 cents each. How many books can you donate?  This donation is tax-deductible, of course. 

Please go to www.hoopoekids.com and check out these wonderful books and about Hoopoe.
