There is no library
in Kadalpur

neither in the school nor in the Children's Home.

Waiting for books to fill the shelves of a new cabinet

There are an increasing number of televisions in the village. These have a disproportionate influence on the worldview of the residents.
Everyone knows about The Rock, Monica Lewinsky and Osama Bin Laden,
but general knowledge of the world is limited by the commercial interests of global corporations and the political interests of the national television station.

One adult asked,"Is there a train from New York to London?"

Gifts of books, second hand or new, would enrich the lives of the residents of Pyarimohan Sumanatissa Children's Home and Kadalpur Village.
Because of the children's limited English proficiency, books rich in visual images would be particularly useful. From the U.S.A., the postal service's M-Bags are the most economical way to send printed materials.
