Great news, Bookworm Book Treasury supporters!
Our jumble sale was a success - we raised a little over 1 Lac. and could
not be happier!
This means, we should have the down payment for the mobile van that will
take books to schools in June 2010.
Thank you ALL - who cleaned up and cleared out so much of stuff. We have
to let you know that hours of sorting, categorizing, pricing and finally
selling - PAID OFF. your jumble helped. And then ...
