oooh! I bet it was around 1,000 with all of the free books--I can't wait to see the number! You do amazing work!

Oh guys I wish I could say it was that high, but the total number of books was 141!!! All of the sales were not books that were donated just to the children, but they still helped them to earn free books!! Out of those 141 books there is at least one of EVERY book on that web site so they're going to have a HUGE selection!!
I also have someone who sent me an additional 10 books they ordered for the children from Amazon so it's truly going to be 151. I'm also scouting out the books tores and ebay for some more great deals!! I'll let you know if I find any!!

Thanks to each of you who have ordered and made this book drive a success! Those books will touch MANY lives and I know first hand how exciting it is for the children to look at a fully colored book for the first time. I'm just glad to have been a part of this book drive again this year. If things keep growing with the feeding/tutorial program at Safe Homes for Children in Los Robles I'm hoping to do this again before the summer to help them start a small library in their location!! Also if any of you have any spanish books you no longer want I can give you the address to mail them to and ensure they get to Guatemala as well! Another HUGE thanks to all of you!! I'll post photos as soon as the books arrive!
