Books from the "Share the Love Textbook Drive" Have Arrived!

Fanuel (the school director) has advised us that the textbooks purchased in connection with our Valentine’s Day/Share the Love Textbook Drive have arrived!  As seen in the picture above, the schools were able to purchase many desperately needed textbooks for a variety of grade levels. 

The number of books we were able to donate through the drive was boosted by several special gifts from sponsors.  First, one of our sponsors offered to match donations of up to 25 math texts for each of Form 1 and 2.  As a result, we were able to donate 50 math texts for each of Form 1 and Form 2 (pictured below)!  Another sponsor rallied her work colleagues to make a group gift of 10 business studies texts for each of Forms 1-4, for a total of 40 texts (pictured below).  Finally, we wrapped up our drive by meeting an offer by a third sponsor to match up to $42 in text purchases for Form 1 or 2 students. 

Thank you to all of our supporters and sponsors who donated and helped to make our “Share the Love” Textbook Drive a resounding success!
