I sent out this message a little over a week ago and I was a somewhat disappointed after not getting one single reply to let me know someone would be willing to give a lending hand.
I only got two, three responses of people "wanting" to know more about the project because they want to contribute but it really never escalates anything but "good intentions."
We as human beings lead are lives full of good intentions and tomorrow, next week but that "tomorrow" and "next week" never come.
They say tomorrow and next week but they don't specify the tomorrow of which day and the next week of what day/week.
It doesn't matter if I'm in this alone, after all the winner stands alone.
That is what Paulo Coelho titled one of his best sellers.
Good morning everyone,
First and foremost I’d like to wish all of a happy Monday and a wonderful week!
Second of all, please do take this message into account because we really need your help.
Most of you already know about one of my lifetime projects about opening a library for some unfortunate beings in Zapopan. I don’t think we will be able to achieve our target without your help.
One of my dreams has always been to someday have a huge library at home but I thought, if I can’t have it, might as well do it for someone else!
I strongly believe that by giving a lending hand, we lead a better quality of life, a human being’s happiness is not based on that but it definitely helps us make this world a better place and if we want this a better place, change must start from within.
This idea blossomed way back when I was in Junior High but I really put it into action two years ago when I started visiting different organizations and proposed my project to have a library but I was turned down until I found Acortar Distancias: www.acortardistancias.org a year ago.
I met up and interviewed Magguie Merino the founder and she loved my idea but it is a long process so we are still looking for volunteers and people who want to donate books in Spanish since many people in that area are illiterate and the few alliterate ones don’t have the financial means to buy books.
I am not asking you to come and spend your whole weekends there because I know that most of you wouldn’t be willing to dedicate a little time doing charity work but I do ask you to come together and donate as many books as you may have and forward this message to all your contacts/friends.
Let’s have more solidarity and make help Mexico become the first one in good aspects, one of them is to increase the reading literacy as we are the last one on the list.
Some of you conform with the fact that we have the wealthiest man and the most beautiful woman in the world (Carlos Slim and Jimena Navarrete).
But that is not enough, let's help Mexico make it to the headlines in a good way, let's project good news not bad ones!
Thanks!
Gina Yoryet
