Studio Bomborra is sponsoring the Mae Sot Book Depository to deliver books written in English or Burmese for children under eight years of age across the border from Thailand to a school in Myanmar. Key people involved in this are Ei Ei Love, David Armstrong and Luke Hunt. Please do not send money. If, however, you have old, unwanted books at home that are suitable for young children and you're prepared to send them via sea mail, then please post to the following address:

Mae Sot Book Depository: 61/21 Rat Uthit Road, Mae Sot Subdistrict, Mae Sot District, Tak Province, 63110, Thailand

Please do not send money. Money is not needed.

The school looks after 80 children who have been isolated into relative safety from the civil war in a remote corner of Myanmar. Regular deliveries of humanitarian assistance includes food, clean water, medical supplies, hand-me-down clothing and there is an allocation for books. Most of this is doable, however, there is a big shortage of children's books. Books written in English or Burmese are fine. The children are taught English from a young age. If you have any books that are age appropriate and are not needed anymore then we can put them to good use. There is also a shortage of crayons, pencils and the sort of stuff children must have to learn how to draw and write. We will also follow-up with Facebook posts, photos and a big thank you as books arrive.

Sincerely,

Ei EI, David and Luke
