Home wanted for books
Aberlady Primary have books which they would like to send abroad. Does anyone have a contact for a charity which would deal with this? Contact Aberlady Primary (Gillian Mair) if you know of anyone.

I've sent old Maths books abroad via the Scottish organisation http://www.booksabroad.net/ who can arrange pick-up in East Lothian if you pack them up. Contact is Booksabroad@aol.com
Here's a snippet from their web site which describes a bit about what they do.
BOOKS ABROAD sends carefully selected parcels weighing approx 8kgs each (approx 50 books), direct to the educational establishments overseas. Emphasis is upon quality, good condition of books and of appropriate content for the institution involved, rather than upon quantity. Parcels are small enough to be carried to even the most remote sites without roads. Great efforts are made to respond to requests made by schools and other institutions, and when no appropriate books are available from our second-hand stock new ones are purchased as funds permit. In addition to this we supply atlases, dictionaries, health books, eg, "Where There Is No Doctor" and "Where There Is No Dentist".
