Book Aid International: the power of partnerships

My job is, in short, to connect people with books. I work with our network of over 100 NGO and library partners round the world to establish where the books that publishers donate to us here in London could have the greatest impact. It is a brilliant job - and our charity's work is very much needed, because there are still so many people who have only a few books, or no books at all. Our partners cannot afford to buy books, so the books we provide often offer people's only opportunity to read. What we do is much more than sending books - it's about getting the right book to the right community. And for that, you need partnerships.
