It's YOUR choice: 10,000 Books into Landfills or the Hands of Indigenous Learners?

[Jzmackenzie]

Our nonprofit has the chance to get 10,000 or more bilingual books for free. It really is your choice: will 10,000 books go into landfills in the USA or the hands of indigenous learners in Mexico?

We have been told that about 10,000 bilingual books are being stored in the USA awaiting a nonprofit to put them to good use. Our nonprofit cannot afford the transportation cost into rural areas of Mexico for indigenous learners and the storage offer will not last forever.

We have been assured that by collecting many signatures we increase the likelihood that organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation or the Ford Foundation would be more likely to consider helping us get books into the hands of indigenous rural Mexican children and adults.

Conservatives do not like supporting an immigrant Mexican family on welfare in the USA who cannot find a job. Liberals think that everyone deserves dignity if they can find work or not. Promoting access to knowledge in Mexico so that people living in Mexico have more personal power and therefore access to more employment inside Mexico keeps both viewpoints happy. Reducing emigration from Mexico into the USA creates stronger family bonds in Mexico by reducing the stress of employment away from family and extended family ties. Please sign our petition (http://apps.facebook.com/causes/petitions/503) or try[b] (http://www.causes.com/causes/503970) to reduce emigration from Mexico to the USA and increase access to knowledge (literacy) in rural areas of Mexico.

Please sign the petition. It costs you nothing but it just might change indigenous kids lives forever.

Rural Mexican kids say "Gracias"
