I think this scheme is wonderful, and I am very keen to support this. Throughout much of Africa, a book is precious and therefore getting hands on a book is very important to people. What is also very appealing about the Pelican Post is that I think it is rather nice for children to be able to read stories that they can identify with.

Every now and again a small idea comes along which has the potential to make a big difference. The Pelican Post is one of those. I'll certainly be supporting it and I hope many others do, too.
