The Book Bank

In a series of posts last month, I had vented about the multiple issues I had experienced with our education system. It is a wonderful thing that now there are a large number of people attempting to do what they can to fix what they can. There are people who have started schools, volunteer their time to teach, develop apps, and work with teachers and the government to make whatever improvement possible.

I have been wanting to do my bit for a long time but don’t know how to find the time. I am so dead by the end of the day. And I still have so many pending items on my ‘should do’ and ‘have to do’ lists.

There are some things I have been particularly wanting to do.

One is to start a textbook bank-I know a lot of parents who unwillingly give away textbooks after each school year because there is no place and no further use for them. And then there are so many who struggle to afford them. I need someone who can help me think this through and implement it on a small scale to start with.

If anyone here has ideas, please share.
