Dear School Board Leaders,

We would like to inform you of a charity being run by a few 5th grade students at the Zionsville Middle School in Zionsville, Indiana. The purpose of this charity is to collect textbooks for uneducated Ethiopian students in need, so they can get a good education and a good job. This will ensure that some families do to not suffer from poverty for years to come. We have created a [|website] to help arrange shipping and give you more specific information on the ZMS for Ethiopians Textbook Collection Program. This website has short forms, making it easy to register your school. It is full of information and it tells you what you need to know. We will be collecting the textbooks throughout the summer of 2010 and 2011 so that your school can send discarded textbooks at the end of the year. Your school can collect the books and send them to us. We will then arrange the shipping to Ethiopia. We only collect simple textbooks like Math and Science. Please no complicated textbooks like Algebra. Gently used or new workbooks and chapter books will also be accepted. We don't collect complicated textbooks because most Ethiopians are not ready for that level of academics and they only need the basics. When theese textbooks make it to Ethiopia the students will want a good education so they will stay completely focused. We hope that you will choose to support this great cause!

Thank you! Four 5th Graders at Zionsville Middle School
