"You can't get a cup of tea big enough, or a book long enough to suit me." -C.S. Lewis
There are few things I love more in the world than a good book. The sad truth, however, is that the are many people in this world that don't have the easy access to books that I'm lucky enough to have. It's so easy for me to hop over to the nearest bookstore, or the local library and head home with the latest NYT bestseller in hand, but this isn't the reality for many people, especially children, around the world.
I'm a huge supporter of anyone who gives books to others, especially to those who really need them. Julia and Emma Mogus are two teenagers doing just that. The sisters have a goal of giving other children the same educational opportunities that they have had growing up. They started Books with no Bounds in an effort to provide books for the Aboriginal children and youth of the Nishnawbe Aski nation communities in Northern Ontario. These girls have done an extraordinary job of collecting books, already sending over 10,000 of them to First Nation Youth in the Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Such amazing work!
