All these books came in from America recently and I went to Pretoria to help sort and pack and unload them for 5 days.
The first day, I spent in the huge metal container unloading box of leisure, health, science, reading skills, history, social studies, et al categories of books out into a truck that would then bring them inside the office where we unpacked them and made sure every school that had solicited for books got what they asked for.
I had heard that the books in the past were not of good quality and were books donated from the US. So when I opened up the boxes and found books that I read while growing up and in new or very good condition, it was very exciting.
My arms felt like Jello after 2 days in and I don't think I've gotten in a good arm workout in like that in years.
The books have still not arrived at y site but I am hoping they come soon since I leave on WEDNESDAY to go home!!
But will hahah be a nice chance for the school to take initiative on their own on something like finishing filling their library.
