    A Request for Books for Children of the Tsunami Disaster!

    I received this email today.
    If you can't send books yourself, perhaps you know others who can. Or bring this to your local library.


    Dear Ms Hanlon,
    My name is Lise Morel and I live in the Rep. of Seychelles. I am writing to people who loves literature / books for a little helping hand. The Anse Royale Primary School, a small village school, located on the main island Mahe, was hit by the Tsunami in December, which ruined all their books. Could you kind lovers of literature find it in your heart to contribute two children's books to Anse Royale School.. just two books, english or french, don't have to be new ... I know postage can be expensive. The kids, aged between 5 and 12 yrs old, would be really grateful.

    Pls send to

    Mrs Sonia Didon - Headteacher
    Anse Royale Primary School
    Anse Royale
    Mahe
    Rep. of Seychelles

    or to myself:

    Lise Morel
    Pointe Aux Sel
    Mahe
    Seychelles

    Seychelles is a very small place, so no postal code exist.

    I'm just a parent, (and amateur writer - that's how I thought of Writing Circles!) trying to help the school.

    Thks

    Best regards,


    Lise
