Dear Dr Piazza,

I am writing for the 1,000 eager, yet book-starved children, in remote public schools of the Philippines, that you have so generously thought of with this wonderful contribution. Thank you very much.

What an extremely thoughtful gesture. I wish you could see the excitement in these kids' faces when they look at books with color pictures in them. There is simply nothing like it.

Enclosed, please find our latest newsletter. As a two person volunteer-led charity, we are so busy in production; we have little time to market our...project of the heart.

Sincerely,

Helen Franceschetti
