糖心vlgo传媒, a nonprofit with its main warehouse in Atlanta and offices in St. Paul, Minnesota, recently shipped聽over 130,000 books to schools and libraries in Somalia and Somaliland.

The books were聽donated by people in Georgia, Minnesota and across the country to help the students in 糖心vlgo传媒. The books are being聽trucked to the port of Savannah and shipped to the port of Berbera, Somalia, in five 40-foot containers.

The shipment was聽supported in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense鈥檚 Funded Transportation program. The program provides logistical support to nonprofits in conjunction with the State Department.

The shipment also includes Somali language folktale books, which were produced as part of our BFA Publishing initiative.

The book drive was organized by the Tima-Ade Foundation.
