Please support A Better Tomorrow Book Run!
A Better Tomorrow Book Run
I grew up in a world full of books! And I know that I was privileged. I could read from when I was very young and I still devour books. But, can you imagine what it is like for children who don’t have the books they need for basic education? My stepson James and his friend Zynique are trying to create #ABetterTomorrow and if you can help then please do! James’ girlfriend Carli teaches at a local school where they have a dire need for books. Here is the information on A Better Tomorrow Book Run.
Goal
To collect books to fill up the library of Kathleen Murray Primary school. Any additional education material is also welcome.
Timeline
Preparation to start 1 February.
Official book collection to start on 1 March and run to 30 April.
What they need
Space for a drop off point – in other words a place where someone can donate a book. We will provide the boxes and come pick up the books weekly or bi-weekly as needed.
What you get
We will put the logo’s of all participating businesses on the boxes for all to see. Additionally, we will advertise our drop off points on Facebook and on all other media’s we can get hold of – which will lead to more exposure and foot traffic for you.
More information:
For more information, please see their Facebook page or catch them on Twitter. You can email them on bettertomorrowbookrun@gmail.com or phone either one of these amazing young adults! James: 072 386 8876 / Zynique: 082 504 9498

Have a beautiful weekend.

Thanks Mandy xxx
I have always grown up with books too – but mine were mostly from the library – I couldn’t imagine my life without them – btw – is your stepson’s endeavor gonna be in Georgia too by any chance? If so I would love to donate. What a wonderful calling!
Sadly, they are keeping it local – but maybe it is something you can do for a local charity?
A great project – Tandy – good luck and may there be many donations. I like you devour books and could not imagine a life without reading and books. I remember when my brother and his young family came to visit us in Sydney, years ago, one of the first things one of the children said was “Dad, this is a house of books” – it still makes me smile.
Thanks Rachel and yes, a house of books is worth smiling about 🙂
Hi Tandy! I wish I could pop over the ocean and donate books because over here, we do have an abundance! My neighbors just give them away and they are so cheap at garage sales. Good luck!
Thanks Laura, and maybe your excess books will find a good home as well 🙂
I just love events like this. I wish there were more everyday. Amazing post Tandy 🙂
I just hope they get more than enough books Kay 🙂
This is so great! Yay for positive, give back causes!
Thanks Cailee 🙂
What a fantastic thing to do! I wish I were close so I could bring a few boxes of books. I’d be there in a hot second!
I so wish everyone could help – but maybe it is an idea you can do for a local charity?
Awesome, that is such a great idea. 🙂 Wish I could get a bunch of my books over to you.
That would be awesome Anna 🙂
