As I said in the last entry, Room to Read. com is this blog`s Charity of the Year and I should have made it clear that this means for 2007... so it will be ongoing through the year and I will be putting up all sorts of wheezes and schemes and ideas for helping them. But the first is a poll. If you go to their website, you will see that they need both money for the general pot, but that they also have special schemes whereby someone can sponsor a particular thing... so there are scholarships to send GIRLS to school, you can sponsor a whole room in which to put books, and then the books to put in it and so on. Please will you go to the website and read through these carefully and then let me know which project you think this blog should aim to support. e.g. General Funds, Scholarships for girls, a reading room, books for a library etc etc.

Long Barn Books will be making Room to Read its charity of the year too so I hope we can do something really useful overall.

I can`t put up one of those polls with buttons to vote on this blog - or rather, if I can I have not yet discovered how, so a vote via the comments seems to be the way forward. THANK YOU. Votes by January 2nd please so a start can be made at once.
