rss Acehtsunami Sep 01, 2010 I Uncategorized. The organizers of a charity book appeal are inviting teenagers who have completed their exams to donate old GCSE textbooks. The Rotary Club of Stamford is requesting for GCSE course books and children’s books to help victims of the 2004 tsunami, which hit Sri Lanka on Boxing Day.The books will be issued to children on the island. The club has previously provided desks and other supplies to renovate or rebuild schools there. Rotarian Tony Wakefield, 75, of Little Casterton Road, Stamford, collected some of the books from the offices of the Citizen’s sister paper, the Mercury, in Sheep Market, Stamford, where we are collecting contributions.The books will be handed first to a rotary club in Sri Lanka before being distributed. Before the end of the school term, some schools in Stamford including Malcolm Sargent Primary and Stamford Queen Eleanor School donated books they no longer wanted. The club has already sent about 10 tons of books following appeals in 2008 and 2009. If schools have lots of GCSE books, the Mercury, can arrange to have them collected.
