Open Arms India

In November of 2009, Reading Tree traveled to several towns in India to fulfill a commitment we made to Open Arms India, a nonprofit that supports orphanages, schools, and clinics in that country.  We took thousands of books to kids in Allahabad, Gaya, Bapatla, and Cuttack.  'While many books we delivered were in English, through a unique collaboration with some in-country partners we were able to obtain many children's books in Hindi, Telugu, and Oriya.  The children were delighted with their new classroom libraries!

Over 1.7 million books donated and delivered to schools, libraries and children!

We are a nonprofit organization that delivers an effective solution to two problems:

  1. The domestic problem of excess books going into landfills
  2. The global problem of not enough books in needy areas.
