schoolbooks for children abroad?

[tinkerbell]

I think I remember seeing something about a scheme whereby unwanted schoolbooks could be sent abroad to schools where children really need them. I have many from the last few years, in good condition, that are no longer used in Irish schools. Would anyone have an address or link to any organisation who could use these thanks

Perhaps if you call into a nearby school they will be able to give you an address or tell you what organisation in Ireland takes the books to send them on?

I think it was the army had been collecting them for Africa. Anything on the web about it? (They Didn't want Gaelige!)

I know some co councils operate a book reusing section.
