The Reading For Relief Challenge has ended. Thank You so much for all of your support!
Help For Hurricane Victims: Reading for Relief Project
12/28/05 Hurrah! Latest book donation count: 7124!
TITLE CHANGE NOTE: To make this more politically correct, it was recommended we not refer to the evacuees as "refugees," so we changed the title to incorporate "relief." Our mission, of course, will remain the same; to provide relief to these displaced people, including shelter bound folks and children placed in orphanages, by providing them with free literature.

Hello everyone!
We want to establish BookCrossing Zones in shelters in the San Antonio, Texas area for the many people affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Some people will be displaced for more than six months! Our goal is to set at least two thousand books into circulation through this service project. Our mission: to provide relief to these displaced people, including shelter-bound folks and children placed in orphanages, by providing them with free literature.
This challenge was begun as part of a Gold Award project for two Senior Girl Scouts, picky88 and goldlis.
Through this effort, we hope to share both our love of literacy, and provide a greatly desired service to help relieve the pain of these people's suffering.
We are currently organizing collection points at local businesses. To date, the following locations have been approved to receive donations:

May your shelf never be empty;
May your heart always be full;
May you never lose your place,
In life or in your book.
May your friends list grow.
And may the next story always
Be more enchanting than the last.
