books for asia

The Asia Foundation is an organization doing charitable work across Asia. Right now, its signature Books for Asia program is running an online interactive book vote campaign, in which your vote will help put books in the hands of children who need them.



Read on for more details:
Choose a Book. Change a Life.

In a remote part of Mongolia, the first-year English students at Khishig-Undur School are motivated and smart, but they lack one thing we often take for granted: books.

Books for Asia knows that a good book can change a life. Will you watch a 3 minute video about these children, and then help us choose a book to give each of them?

Vote for a favorite book and we'll deliver the winning title to every first-year English student at the school.

Plus, a generous donor will contribute $1 for every vote cast, up to $10,000, to help put books in the hands of the children who need them most. Your vote will really make a difference!

Please watch the video, and vote now. It only takes 3 minutes.
