Amazing thanks to Eric and Josh who donated several hours of their time to sort and label books. Until you actually step inside the Goodwill holding facility (aka my apartment), it's hard to imagine the magnitude of the project so far.
In addition to good karma, the volunteer work dovetails perfectly with their school's community service goals. Everyone benefits.
Together, they assessed several hundred books for cultural and educational relevance for Cambodia versus locally here in San Francisco. Cambodia is a Buddhist country and I'm maintaining an educational focus for the book donations that I ship to the ELMA School.
No donations are wasted. Some books (for example, Barbie or SpongeBob SquarePants) aren't as relevant for Cambodia but many American children will certainly love them, so I donate them to Compass Community Services, a San Francisco nonprofit organization that provides resources to homeless families.
Keep'em coming, no matter the subject matter!
