A worthy cause

There is a school in Harlem, the Frederick Douglass Academy, that needs to purchase books for its students, but does not have the funds. I gave some money to help enable them to acquire The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros. Many of us are voracious readers and know the power of a book to enchant and transport. If you have the ways and means, please visit their site and see if you can help. Maybe we can even figure out a way for our jounal enabler, AOL, to look for change under the cushions of their couch.

  2. Great idea.  I'm going to contact them to see if they will take some used books I have (I've got boxes full from my kids).
