Books, Books, Books.....

 Well I really have the bit between my teeth now! For months I have been talking about sorting out my book collection and getting organised. In my study I have three walls of floor to ceiling book cases, groaning under the weight of hundreds of books and cds.

So I have decided to have a proper cull and sell the 'surplus to requirements' ones to raise some money for the Mbabazi Clinic project.

This is a 50 bed community hospital to be built in a poor suburb of Bujumbura, capital city of Burundi in central Africa. We are sponsoring the construction of this clinic in partnership with Charles Ndikumana of Cup of Cool Water, a Christian NGO in Burundi.

We are making good progress with the funding but there is still quite a long way to go. So I am posting many of these books on Amazon, where I am a registered third party seller going under the pseudonym of "champfleurie". So look out for that name if you are book shopping in the next few months. The books are mainly theological texts, bible commentaries, devotional books as well as cook books and novels.
