Advisors can be a member of the sponsoring Rotary club, a school administrator or faculty member, or community volunteer to serve as an adult contact to the Interact club. Update the contact information.

the "books for the world project" is four-Projects-in-one
Book Sortings Cancelled Until Further Notice!
Due to the extreme below freezing temperatures in December 2022, pipes in the ceiling broke and our Books for the World warehouse was seriously damaged with water.
Once we find a new warehouse and relocate all the books, we'll notify everyone of the new warehouse location and when we resume sorting books again.
The Books for the World Project which is an International, Literacy, Vocational & Environmental project, was started here in Rotary District 5890 and has earned support from multiple Rotary districts around the globe.
Photo on left is of students in Kenya receiving books that our Houston-area Interact students sorted and palletized then were shipped via ocean freight.
A HUGE thanks to you for supporting this project! Without our Interactors in District 5890...this project couldn't happen! Our District 5890 Interactors are vital to the success of this project since the volunteer at the monthly book sortings to help palletize the books.
Since 2002. we've shipped 17.6 MILLION pounds of books (that's 17.1 MILLION books) shipped FREE of CHARGE to 25 countries at a value of USD17,655,106! Rotarians in those countries then give the books...free of charge...to teachers, schools, libraries, and universities.
We purchase the 40-foot, steel shipping container used to transport the books and it is also donated to the communities! These containers are converted into community libraries, medical clinics, Polio vaccine centers, community centers, and more!
Above: A 40-foot container that had been loaded here in District 5890 arrives at a school in Kenya and students help unload the books that our greater Houston area District 5890 Interactors had packed.
Below: This 40-foot, steel shipping container has been converted into a community library in Africa.
