Day 5 Donate Books


Day 5 Donate Books or Money to Buy Books

This one is a little tricky due to weight restrictions when flying and the price of shipping. However, I want to throw this out there as well. When teaching children, the beginning readers from back home are perfect. You know, the ones that have less than 50, 100, 200 words, etc… Or that focus on a letter sound or ending. They are often funny at a child’s level of humor, and with a little explaining/translating my students can understand the humor. I have a book basket at my house that they are free to look through when they come over, and I often take books when I teach Saturday morning tutoring, and when they fit in with my lessons. If you have some of these books lying around that you no longer use, or are a teacher that has extra book order points to use maybe you could think of my students. If you have books to donate, please let me know so that I don’t “accept” too many that I can’t bring them all back in my suitcase. I love reading, and want to instill this love in the students here.
If you don’t have any books and are going out to buy them, a better option might be to make a donation and let me buy them here. There are several bookstores in Bangkok where you can get easy readers that have been imported, and then we wouldn’t have to worry about packing space, or shipping costs. There are also some chapter books that have the more difficult words written in Thai on the side, which hopefully the students will be able to read in the future and I would love to get some available now.
