Oxford University Press has just agreed to make substantial donations and discounts available to us to help Darfur refugees in Chad learn English. The 75 teacher's books we requested from Oxford's Headway English language series will be totally free, and we will be able to purchase the student's books and audio at cost, a huge discount of 85% off!

Users of About.com's English as a Second Language site have turned out heavily during the past week to support our Chad/Darfur project. Since February 25, at least 814 have visited our website, donating more than $800!

We just received our first donations of reading glasses for our project to help Darfur refugees and local villagers in eastern Chad! Check out the doodle on one of the boxes that arrived:

Donors D.C. and J.W. shipped five pairs, including four cases (we've supplied the fifth case). Stylish, don't you think?
