Got a few books???
 The Book Project would like to help you find some good homes for them.
Executive Summary
The Book Project (TBP),
is made of individuals who want to contribute to Ethiopia's development
effort. In particular, TBP wants to help improve some of the complex
teaching challenges that universities face, especially the lack of
teaching materials such as relevant textbooks. To that end, TBP has
been collecting books and computers from universities, libraries and
private individuals.

Current situation of universities in Ethiopia
TBP has been in contact with administrators from several of these universities, who have identified the lack of relatively updated textbooks as one of the major hindrances to the teaching experience. They believe the ability of such materials would greatly improve the impact their teaching will have on the students. Specifically, TBP is currently working with Professors in Bar Dhar, Administrators in Addis Abeba, as well as other volunteers to cultivate this vision and make it grow.
Strategy
TBP wants to be part of the effort to improve the education sector in Ethiopia, by providing textbooks that have been used in American universities no later than the past five years. Over the past year, we have collected a number of text books and several computers ready to be shipped. As we continue our efforts to collect more books and computers, we ask for your assistance in shipping what we've accumulated thus far.
Forward thinking
It is our hope that TBP will become a established NGO in the near future. Until then we are adamant in continuing our efforts to collect textbooks and computers. As we continue our efforts, we ask your assistance in shipping what we have accumulated thus far.
Conclusion
We have been provided with unimaginable opportunities in our lives; so let us do the same for our brothers and sisters in Ethiopia.
