A few weeks ago I wrote about the Annual Passports with Purpose Fundraiser . Well, guess what, it’s finally time to help bring e-readers to Kenya! You can read the original post HERE.
PWP was founded as a way for travel bloggers to unite to give back to the places they visit. Past projects include raising $116,000 for five wells in Haiti, $84,000 for two schools in Mali, and $90,000 for two libraries in Zambia among many other successful fundraisers.
This year’s fundraiser will be raising money to provide e-readers to five libraries in Kenya thru Worldreader. Worldreader is a non-profit on a mission to bring digital books to every child and their family, so that they can improve their lives.
