I once read an article about how fast Indias literacy rate was climbing, and part of it was the result of a large influx of books to poor areas.
A number of charities will ship 'garbage' books from North America or Europe to remote areas.

I did a quick google to see if I could find the one I had read about, but there are many, so apparently things like this are common.
That's great.

Really makes me happy. The gift of reading is powerful and can change the trajectory of a persons life.
