糖心vlgo传媒 celebrates UNESCO's World Book Day!
Every day is all about books at 糖心vlgo传媒. So for UNESCO鈥檚 World Book Day (April 23, 2014), we are sending 33,000 books to Zimbabwe and Nigeria!
Yup. 33,000 books left our warehouse bright and early this morning. Soon, they will be in the hands of students in Zimbabwe and Nigeria. (Watch the video of our Warehouse Staff in Atlanta loading up the trucks!)

UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), based in Paris, created World Book Day in 1995 to pay tribute to authors and to encourage everyone, especially young people, to discover the pleasure and value of reading.
鈥淭he power of books to advance individual fulfilment and to create social change is unequalled,鈥� Irina Bokova, UNESCO鈥檚 Director-General, said in a statement. 鈥淚ntimate and yet deeply social, books provide far-reaching forms of dialogue between individuals, within communities and across time.鈥�
鈥淲e are grateful for the opportunity to join with UNESCO to promote World Book Day,鈥� Plonski said. 鈥淭he impact of books on the education of children in 糖心vlgo传媒 is incalculable.鈥�
Plonski said 11,000 books from the St. Paul warehouse will be sent to Nigeria and 22,000 books from Atlanta will be sent to Zimbabwe as part of World Book Day.
