As you see, I am working in one of the poorest community here in our place, I would like to make a difference in the lives of the people in there, last time, I gathered 20 families and through the coordination of the Department of Agriculture we were able to plant 2,000 forests trees along the mountainous place since they lived in a typhoon and landslide prone area, this was done in order to save them from constant rainy seasons around here. Right now, I was thinking of helping the young people in there by teaching those who can’t afford to school and providing them a small library yet I am just a private individual with very limited resources. Books would be very helpful for them, I was wondering does anyone around here, could help me find free books and free delivery? Can you suggest to me to whom should I refer this matter? What other things can you help me, help them? Much appreciation from you.

[i]Congratulations on your noble endeavors! Seldom we can find kind-hearted people like you nowadays. I do wish I can make my own selfless endeavors someday... As for the books, I'm not really knowledgeable of the where and who but there are lots of organizations (both local and international) who will be eager to help you. Example, you can contact TV stations like ABS-CBN and GMA, they will be very much willing to help. You can start in their regional offices if you find it difficult to contact their national headquarters. I have many books as well, maybe I can help, it's just a matter of difficulty in parting with my beloved possessions... Sigh! I just love my books! Maybe someday... For now, I hope you'll find the help you needed. I salute your good heart! God bless and more power.[/i]
