Dear Friend, We have a lot to be grateful for at GEMS. Thanks to supporters like you, more than $25,000 were raised in our matching-gift challenge–which means that every dollar was doubled by two anonymous donors. We can’t thank you enough for this.

Books For Africa. A simple name for an organization with a simple mission. We collect, sort, ship, and distribute books to children in Africa. Our goal: to end the book famine in Africa.
We are storytellers, activists and everyday people who use the power of media to inspire young people to help end the longest running armed conflict in Africa. We make documentaries, tour them around the world, and lobby our nation’s leaders to make ending this conflict a priority. But we don’t stop there. Our development professionals from Central Africa partner with local communities to implement and maintain education programs and economic initiatives in the war affected region.
