Hello everyone,
The day has finally come! Nomadic Marketing is officially The Library Project.
Over the past year our organization has made a big change, we moved away from pro bono website development to donating libraries to orphanages and underprivileged schools in Asia. We are extremely excited about our new path and look forward to making a difference in the lives of children in Asia.
It is so simple - education is change.
The Library Project was founded on the simple ideal that education is change. Education is the catalyst which breaks the cycle of poverty in the developing world and provides children with the opportunity for a positive future. Education is also empowerment. If we educate the children of the developing world, we give them the power to reach their goals. Education opens the doors of opportunity for children and provides them with the tools for a better future for both them and their families.
The Library Project has some amazing yet attainable goals: by the end of 2008 we will have donated over 80 libraries in Asia. The number of libraries will double in 2009 and then double again to well over 300 in 2010. I want to build The Library project into an organization that helps empower millions of children every year through the gift of education. This goal will take an enormous amount of dedication, planning, and hard work so we need your help.
There are three ways to get involved:
Help by spreading the word. You can forward this newsletter to your friends, family members and coworkers. Make a post on your MySpace page or blog to help raise awareness for The Library Project. If you need information we have a sample article under the Press Kit link on our website. Thank you!
Help by volunteering. You can make a huge difference in the lives of countless children in the developing world by becoming a volunteer. There are so many different ways to volunteer: you can throw a wine tasting or dinner to introduce The Library Project to others, hang a poster above the water cooler at your office, or introduce us to your company’s HR Department.
Help by making a donation. Without money, we can't buy books. At a dollar a book, most of us can afford to buy 10, 20 or even 100 books. Make a donation and help bring the gift of education to countless underprivileged children. Our libraries generally contain about 500 - 1000 books, thus every donated book (or dollar) helps!
For more information on The Library Project please check out our new home on the web at www.library-project.org. It has a wealth of great information about our projects and how you can get involved.
I am very proud of The Library Project growth and development over the past year. I want to thank the many people who have helped make this dream become a reality. Thank you for your donations, hard work and energy!
A big thanks goes out to Penny and Ed Glassmeyer and Erika Gieschen for their generous financial donations to The Library Project. I would like to thank Richard Fitzsimmons who helped create a small library in the name of Joan Diana, my grandmother. Also, I want to thank our volunteers for all their hard work. Isaac Epp, my very good friend, donated his graphic design skills for the new The Library Project logo. Derrick Chang, another great friend and talented photographer, donated over 20 photos to help create a free screen saver to raise awareness for our projects and new website. Thank you!
