Books change lives. When you give to The Asia Foundation’s Books for Asia Fund you are empowering children with literacy, creating opportunities for higher learning, and educating future leaders in 18 countries, from Afghanistan to Vietnam. Books crackle with ideas and theories – they shape and hone young people’s imaginations, critical thinking skills, and their understanding of the world, and are powerful tools to combat poverty and inspire positive, long-lasting change.
Many of us take access to good books and well-equipped libraries for granted. At Books for Asia we believe everyone deserves to experience the transformative power unlocked by opening a book. Your donation can make the difference between opportunity and hardship for thousands of people.
Just $1 can put a book into the hands of a child.

You bet! We're so short for money right now I need to look for change in the sofa before we leave town tomorrow. (Which, of course, I feel enormous guilt about doing, given the financial situation.)
At least I can post about these people. It's something. 😉
Thanks for your support of Books for Asia, Victoria! If anyone wants a peak at our on-the-ground work in Asia, here are links to a recent video campaign:
