One of the real tragedies is the total lack of books. The only material children have to read is what they copy from the blackboard at school. This applies to all schools, universities included. It is a wonder anyone can learn to read and the thirst for books is enormous. I was able to bring some easy-to-read children's books for a nearby school and some for the women's organization. I wish I could have brought more. I did spend a lot of time with children in my house as they read the stories to me.
