Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,

Absolutely fantastic!

We just received 148 books from a famous Nigerian Author and 98 books from a renowned Nigerian Surgeon both residing in the United Kingdom.

Thank you so much for your donations you both took the exceptional step of making our dreams come true, despite the fact that you live outside London!

The books totaling 246 are a welcome addition to our growing collection.

Remember, we will be donating books all across schools in hard to reach communities in Nigeria from September 2017.

Please keep your book and financial donations rolling in…tell everyone :).

We love you for donating!

Much appreciated,
Toks and the ChiYoWo Team

More books donated … Yippee!

We just mentioned the Book Drive Nigeria 2017 to Mrs. Olabode. She invited us over to her home selected and donated some books for our cause.

We are indeed grateful as the books came from her Reading Club Collection!

Much appreciated,

Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,

Great News!

We have received a total of 1,191 books in the United Kingdom (UK) and more are pouring :). The books are now Nigeria bound. Thank you so much to our anonymous shipper who shipped this first batch for FREE!!!

We have also received numerous pledges from more book donors in Nigeria. Watch this space…

Just to let you know, we have stamped all the books “Book Drive Nigeria 2017. NOT FOR SALE. Donated by CHIYOWO & NSF (UK). See some sample stamped pages attached.

This is one of the measures put in place to ensure donated books are not sold to third parties. There are other monitoring measures we will put in place, to make sure our beneficiaries (children aged 4-14 years) enjoy the maximum benefit of the Book Drive Nigeria 2017.

Once again thank you to all our donors (Financial and Book) and our supporters who are tirelessly spreading the word. Please keep your donations coming in.

Nothing is too small.

We love you for donating x.

Much appreciated,

Toks and the Team

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters,

Thank you so much for your donations received so far!

We are proud to say we have surpassed the initial book donation target of 1,000 books … we now have a total of 1,191 books :)! And guess what? Families are still donating more books.

Also, we’ve raised over £1000.00 within a month of our campaign … This is awesome!!! Thank you very much :).

But, we still need you to spread the word. Tell your families, friends, colleagues at work and more.

We need more money to enable us to reach our beneficiaries and deliver a heartfelt impactful project.

Every financial donation you make, less the Go Fund Me Fees of 7.9%, will go towards the ‘Book Drive Nigeria 2017’.

We are keeping records of all your donations and will give you a full report of how your money is spent and its impact on the beneficiaries.

We love you for donating.

Much appreciated,
Tokunbo and the Team

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters,

More good news!

In the words of the famous singer Dionne Warwick … “Keep shining, keep smiling, knowing you can always count on me … that’s what friends are for”!

It feels so good when childhood friends want the best for you :). Such is my story … my childhood friend just donated an additional 52 books and 22 DVDs towards our Book Drive Nigeria 2017. I was most definitely pleased to receive the items from her family!

We are truly excited and can’t wait to see the happy faces of our beneficiaries.

As promised, we will keep you informed of every step of the Book Drive Nigeria 2017 journey.

Much appreciated,
Toks and the Team
