The Mother Lode of Book Donations | Louise Roberts, the Angel of Antioch


I was lucky—stars shining on me lucky—to meet Louise Roberts, mother, philanthropist and all-around kind soul. For years, Louise has been collecting children's books and clothes to donate to third-world countries. When I met with Louise, she donated upward of 300–400 children's books and dozens of children's outfits.

Her staggering generosity and kindness truly turned the Cambodian Children's Book Project from almost a figment of my imagination to a living, breathing, and transformative part of my and so many other people's lives.

Indispensable thanks to Sandeep Bhatt and Sujata Mody for lending me their car—again.
