Donate Books and Help Children - Books for the World 20 Years of Promoting Global Literacy Shipping Books Worldwidein Collaboration with Rotary Clubs Books for the World is a global literacy project supervised by Rotarians. We ship books from the United States which might otherwise be discarded into landfills and the books are sent to children worldwide where educational resources are in short supply. Our educational nonprofit organization is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Seabrook and funded by the Second Wind Foundation to promote literacy worldwide. Our Story In 2001 we got the idea for this project during a dinner meeting between Rotary Governors Charlie Clemmons from District 5890Houston TexasUSA and Ted Pope from District 9300South Africa.
