Darfur Refugees Receive ESL Books

Many of you have followed and kindly contributed to Book Wish Foundation's worthy drive to provide Darfur refugees English learning Materials. The foundation has informed me that the second shipment of Headway ESL textbooks has just reached the Darfur refugees in eastern Chad. As was the case for the first shipment, esl.about.com readers contributed significantly to this achievement.

"The joy these books bring has to be seen to be believed," said our partner on the ground who manages education in the refugee camps. "We are so grateful to our Book Wish supporters...The new academic year has just begun, and to have these books arrive has given us all fresh hope and impetus to succeed in our study programme."

Here is a heart-warming page with many faces aglow at the opportunity this effort has afforded them.
