From Secret Garden Books in Seattle, WA:
The smiling-under-their-masks pair you see to the left are longtime Garden customers Lua and her mother Noelia. The table before them is covered with books they chose from among our selection of bilingual Spanish/English books for children. These books are now ready to be shipped off to the volunteers at Border Servant Corps at the US/Mexico border, providing help to the children in need there.
The money to pay for the books came from you. We collected it from our customers periodically throughout the last year.
Thank you, Lua and Noelia. Thank you Border Servant Corps, and thank you, our customers.
