Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Book Wish Foundation's mission is to provide reading relief for people in crisis. In partnership with organizations that work on the ground in some of the most distressed places around the world, we support reading to improve education, mental health, and job training. The people we help often need more than books in order to read. For example, they may need reading glasses, solar lighting, a library building, literacy textbooks, or school supplies. All of this aid can help people to read, but to provide relief, what they are reading must be relevant to their lives. We match books and other aid as specifically as possible to the crisis situation, culture, language, demographics, educational history, and aspirations of our recipients.

| IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom | 0 | The program's objectives are to establish a library at an AIDS orphanage run by the Ghanaian charity New Seed International in Sokode-Gborgame, near Ho in the Volta Region of Ghana, and to provide reading glasses for the surrounding community. During the fiscal year covered by this report: bookshelves for the library in three age-appropriate sizes were purchased from a local carpenter in anticipation of the provision of books; a preliminary list of books for the library was developed using title-specific requests from the orphanage and a regional librarian; optometric equipment (Woodlyn Phoropter, Reichert Keratometer, Topcon Slit-Lamp SL-2D, Reichert Projector and Mount, Humphrey Autorefractor) was shipped to New Seed International, to be used by Dr. Boamah of the Volta Regional Hospital for vision testing in rural communities near Sokode-Gborgame; and 638 pairs of new reading glasses and 660 new eyeglass cases/pouches were shipped to New Seed International for distribution during vision testing. Various income-generating activities that could be conducted at the orphanage were also explored as a means of providing sustainable long-term support for the library. |
| IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom | 1 | As part of a program of comprehensive support for reading in Darfuri refugee camps in eastern Chad, basic school supplies were collected from donors in the previous and current fiscal years with the intention that they would be distributed to schools in those refugee camps, since schools are one of the primary locations were children learn to read and a lack of supplies can interfere with their education. However, due to a changing logistical situation in Chad, we were ultimately unable to find a secure way to deliver the supplies collected, and instead, during this fiscal year, provided the supplies for distribution to students in Darfur itself, in Sudan, in keeping with the spirit of the donors' intentions to help Darfuris. 18,688 pencils, 3,258 pens, and 459 blank notebooks were shipped to the Khartoum office of the 501(c)(3) non-profit Darfur Peace and Development (DPDO), for subsequent distribution at schools supported by DPDO in Darfur. |
| IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom | 2 | 1) As part of our program established previously to provide comprehensive support for reading in the Bredjing, Treguine, and Gaga refugee camps in eastern Chad and in the nearby Chadian host villages of Abougkni, Barde, Bakhita, Bredjing, Faguire, Fodji, Hadjer Hadid, Kadjala, Kinouane, Kodolok Koundjan, Korkoguine, Koundoubla, Lira, Louma, Mobouguine, N'gourkoudji, Rataye, and Sira, which have a total population of approximately 69,000 Darfuris and 19,000 Chadians, we continued testing solar-rechargeable reading lights during the fiscal year covered by this report. Working together with Hong Kong-based electronics manufacturer AltusLumen, we developed a custom rugged, portable, solar-rechargeable light suitable for group reading in an indoors or outdoors classroom in a refugee camp or village. The prototype light was shipped to Chad and tested in a refugee camp by staff of the UK-based charity CORD. Its performance was compared to that of the SOLUX-LED-50, the winner of a previous round of testing of off-the-shelf solar-rechargeable lights that we provided. During the field testing, refugee students were able to experience an illuminated classroom at night for the first time. Detailed written feedback was obtained and discussed with the manufacturer in order to improve the custom design. Specifications, videos, and photos of our prototype are available on our website. 2) We previously provided textbooks for English classes in these refugee camps, and, during the fiscal year covered by this report, began development of a solar-rechargeable classroom audio system (MP3 player and speakers) that could be used by those classes to play the audio component of the curriculum (the "Headway" series published by Oxford University Press). 3) To help fund construction of libraries in refugee camps in eastern Chad, we secured a publishing contract with Penguin/G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers for a collection of short stories and poems for young adults to be published in Fall 2011. Well-known authors and poets will contribute to the collection. Program services funded by the book will be reported beginning in the next fiscal year's report. |
