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/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom0The 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: the orphanage's librarian received training, the librarian and orphanage director traveled to a bookseller in Accra to select books, 336 distinct books selected by the orphanage and matched to its needs were delivered to the library, additional equipment was purchased for the library (tables, chairs, benches, cabinets), the library was electrified and 2 fans and 4 lights were installed, initial 2 months security for the library was provided during set up.
IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom1To help fund construction of libraries in Darfuri refugee camps in eastern Chad, we released a book for young adults, What You Wish For, published by Penguin/G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers in September 2011. What You Wish For features short stories and poems by some of the best-selling and most highly honored writers for young people, including: Meg Cabot, R.L. Stine, Cornelia Funke, John Green, Ann M. Martin, Cynthia Voigt, Karen Hesse, Alexander McCall Smith, Joyce Carol Oates, Sofia Quintero, Jeanne DuPrau, Nate Powell, Francisco X. Stork, Nikki Giovanni, Marilyn Nelson, Naomi Shihab Nye, Gary Soto, and Jane Yolen. The Foreword was written by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Mia Farrow, and the book includes a statement from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres. What You Wish For features an essay about the importance of libraries for the refugees, a list of resources, and photos from the refugee camps (provided by the UN Refugee Agency). All authors and our literary agent worked pro bono. We pledged all our proceeds to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to fund the refugee camp libraries, and began work on an MOU governing the library development. We also planned a launch event at UN Headquarters in New York and an author signing at a children's bookstore, to be held in October, 2011. Refugee camp library development funded by the book will be reported beginning in the next fiscal year's report.
