Details: AWCH Pre-Loved Book Sale
A Fundraiser for MamaBaby Haiti
Join us for a meaningful afternoon of browsing through stacks of books, sharing reading suggestions, and making a difference in the world. Good quality, English-language books (for adults & children) will be available for purchase by donation. It's an open house, so come whenever suits you; refreshments are provided.
You may purchase books with cash or bank transfer.
How to donate books: Anyone can donate books, even if you're not attending the event
Drop-off by May 10: You may drop off your books at members' homes around Hamburg by Saturday, May 10. Contact your drop-off point to arrange a time. See addresses & contact info below
Delivery: You may drop off your books at Michaela's house anytime. See address & contact info below
Day of the event: We prefer to receive books early for organizational purposes. But you may bring a few with you on May 18.
An important note on donations: We are grateful for your help in stocking this sale! When sorting your donations, please choose only high quality books that might appeal to our members. A good rule of thumb: “Would I loan this book to a friend?” If not, please leave it at home. Examples include books that are:
- Torn or in poor condition
- Not in English
- Out of date (such as old travel guides, or political books from the ’90s)
Keep in mind that all unsold books must be hauled away and distributed by our volunteers. So please be generous yet mindful with your donations. Thank you!
Donations from this book sale will raise desperately needed funds for MamaBaby Haiti, a birth center that provides free services for pregnant mothers, as well as operating a midwifery training program, an orphanage and school, a mobile medical clinic, and various other health and community services. Their work is transformative in the communites they serve. But the gang violence and upheaval in Haiti is getting closer, making MamaBaby Haiti's role as a safe space even more vital. You can learn more here: https://mamababyhaiti.org.
If you can't attend on May 18 but would like to donate to MamaBaby Haiti, you can send bank transfers to AWCH, IBAN: DE47 2005 0550 1502 5597 41, with "Haiti" in the notes. All donations, big and small, are appreciated and will be sent in full to Haiti.
