Sometimes, the Kindle Classroom Project has bad days. Maybe there’s a problem delivering a book to a young person’s Kindle. Or maybe I can’t figure out something on the website. Or maybe I get a little nervous that generous donations for books won’t continue to arrive.
Often, though, it’s in the middle of those bad days that the most amazing things happen.
Such was the case last week, when I received a generous and gracious email from Kunal in Jaipur, India—half way around the world. He wanted to donate 75 handmade Kindle cases to the program.
Wow! They’re beautiful — and made with love and care. Thank you so much, Kunal!
This gift couldn’t have come at a better time. There are about 50 Kindles that have arrived that do not have cases, and I was about ready to make a large purchase. After all, cases are crucial to make sure that Kindles stay in good working order.
Now I don’t need to make this purchase, and the money I was about to spend can go back to granting student book requests.
Thank you again, Kunal!
