Books To Kids Project Director, Jim Selin, is pictured here delivering books to Dawn LaFonte, Principal of the Oaklawn Jr. High School in Houma, Louisiana. Books To Kids has delivered over 30,000 books to schools, community centers and neighborhood libraries along the Gulf Coast since hurricane Katrina. Books To Kids is jointly supported by Plenty International and United Peace Relief.

Thank you so much for the visit and the books you graciously brought to Pointe aux Chene and Oaklawn Jr. High. The students were delighted to have them. We frequently have visits at Oaklawn Jr. High by students who are mentally and physically impaired. The law states that they must be included on a regular school campus, which delights me. However, we frequently don't have materials on their level. Your last drop of books to me had several wonderful Indian stories on their level. We shared them in the library and they were so excited! The regular students in the library were excited to read to the challenged students as well. That was a blessing I did not think I would see!

Thank you for making such an important difference in the lives of our students. It means so much!

-Dawn LaFonte, Principal
