During November and December, the AYLUS Bellaire Branch organized a book drive to donate books to Books for Development. Books for Development receives new and gently-used books to create libraries that support literacy in less developed countries around the world.
Following the distribution of flyers on 11/23, donations from the Bellaire community were collected on 12/7 and 12/8. Some AYLUS Bellaire members also dropped off books at Selina Yuan’s house throughout the week.
At the end of the book drive, 8 families in the Bellaire community and 7 AYLUS members contributed to the estimated 200+ books collected. All donations were delivered to Books for Development’s Houston warehouse on 12/27.
7 AYLUS members participated in the donation.
