A book project established four years ago by students at The University of Nottingham
to equip schools in Tanzania with books and equipment will be officially launched
as a national charity at the House of Commons on October 31, 2007.

 

READ International (Realising Education Achieving Development), which won this year’s
Charity Times Award for Best New Charity, has sent thousands of books and items 
of educational equipment to secondary schools across Tanzania.
