Books for Pakistan

Posted by Terry Ziegler

on Jul 31, 2015

There was an article, "Pakistan Rotary Members Distribute Free Books", in the Rotary Voices newsletter. Those books came from our District's Rotary Books for the World project founded by PDG Charlie & Barb Clemmons. We sort and palletize books once a month and we would love to have you, and your club members, family members, Interactors, Rotaractors, and friends join us for a work day.

In addition, the containers used for shipping the books, are when empty, being converted to Polio vaccination stations in Pakistan. We are helping literacy and Polio eradication in Pakistan!

Pakistan's National PolioPlus Chair, Aziz Memon will be in Houston on September 25 for the District 5890 Foundation Dinner. Please plan to attend if you are a Major Donor, Bequest Society Member, or Paul Harris Society Member. Register on the www.rotary5890 site. If you are not yet a member of one of the three invited groups, why not join now?

Students at St. Mary’s Academy in Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan, display the books they received from the Rotary Books for the World program and the Hashoo Foundation.
