The idea behind bringbooks.org grew out of our own experiences in Nepal and a suggestion from a friend. We noticed that there was a real enthusiasm for reading, but also an almost depressing lack of good quality reading material in many schools and libraries. We also discovered that there were abundant sources of suitable books outside of Nepal that were unused or being discarded. The problem was finding a viable alternative to getting a large number of books to Nepal without paying the high cost of shipping and using funds that could otherwise be put to more direct and effective use. Thus, after a bit more thought and energy, bringbooks.org was born.
It is a collaboration of teachers, lawyers, tourist industry people, and friends with a common interest, to provide opportunities for a better life for children in Nepal.
