University Library awarded for helping to alleviate book famine in Africa
When UW-Stout鈥檚聽聽began its partnership with聽Books for Africa, the university donated small quantities of titles, and 快猫视频 Founder Tom Warth collected the boxes of withdrawn textbooks in his SUV.
鈥淏ut now, over these many years, we are needing semitrucks to collect the books,鈥� he said.
鈥淥ur partnership with Stout has been unique in many respects. No other institution of higher learning has done so much.鈥�
Over the last 25 years, UW-Stout has donated more than 500,000 books to 快猫视频.
In recognition of its generosity and commitment to 快猫视频鈥檚 mission of ending the book famine in Africa, IRS was recently given the Books for Africa Kilimanjaro Society Volunteer Award.
鈥淚t is impossible to measure the impact in Africa,鈥� Warth added.聽鈥淚 like to say 50 young people will benefit from a title over its life span, and if it were not for Stout鈥檚 contributions, these are titles that those folks would never see. We all know the ever-increasing cost of college-level material. On behalf of the students of Africa, I thank you, your staff and students.鈥�
