Eberius P M H Book Run

Logic Recruitment are proud to be supporters of Eberius Princess Margaret Hospital Book Run.

Inspired by an episode of Oprah, Jodie Eberius has decided to attempt to make a difference to local children’s lives.

The idea: This particular episode Oprah spoke to a executive from Microsoft (John Wood - he has written a book about his experiences) who had taken some leave and  trekked through Nepal.

Along the way he had visited local schools where he discovered that they had very limited books for the amount of children attending. Some of the schools had books left over from tourists but as you can imagine they were highly unsuitable for children.

He decided to go home and do a book drive and went back 4 months later with over 3000 books. He has now left Microsoft to do this full time. He now has a foundation called Room to Read, (www.roomtoread.org) and as well as books he is now building schools and libraries across 3rd world countries.

Jodie inspired, then asked herself what could she do? The Eberius Princess Margaret Hospital Book Run was born.So we want YOU! Uncle Sam Take on this mission if you dare!

The mission: For each and every one of you could donate a new children’s book!Don’t be shy though recruit all your friends/work colleagues and family members to do the same. 

The briefing: The children’s age groups range from newborn to 18 years old. Once all books are collected they will be delivered to PMH for all the Kids. Contact with PMH has been made and they are very excited about this mission.

Jodie’s message: I know it’s not schools in Nepal but depending on the response, we may try for bigger and better things next time.Delivery Address: Unit 5/19 JCA Logic Outram Street West Perth.

I would love a response on how many you have collected and when you are due to deliver them just to give JCA the heads up.

Due Date: April 21st 2008 The reward: I guess it’s a little something we can do to give something back to sick children and bring some joy and happiness to them.

So please accept your mission jump on board and let’s make this an annual occurrence! And check out John Wood’s website its amazing, what an idea can turn into!
We wish you a Happy and safe Easter from all of us at Logic Recruitment.
