Send
New Books
You can easily donate a book through Jane's
Wish List, and ask
your friends to do the same.
Every time you go to Jane's
Wish List through www.tanashabitat.com and buy a book
(you can buy any books you want… they don't have to
be on the wish list), Amazon will issue us a credit so that
we can buy more books.
Choose reference books, your favorite childhood books, picture
books for older children... any English-language books are
welcome. Please donate hardcover books if you can. They
last longer.
Send used books
You don't have to send new books! If you've got
a ton of books in good condition lying around, we'll take
those too. |

How do I get them to Africa?
There's a great way to send books to Africa on the
cheap. It's called an M-Bag
and you'll find it at any US Post Office.
- Take your books to your local post office in a box. Write
Jane Duncan's address on
the box so that if the tag falls off the
bag, the bag can still make it to Aranos.
- Tell the clerk that you want to ship everything in an
M-Bag.
- They will give you a bag (literally) to put the box of
books into.
- They will then ask you to fill out a PS 158 tag with
Jane's address in Namibia and your return address.
- They will then ask you to fill out a customs form PS
2976. You'll find it on the counter with all the other forms.
Declare the value as $0.00 and identify the contents as
"Used Books" or something very boring.
How much it costs
A volunteer in Montana wrote that she mailed 25 lbs
of books for $26.00. The postal clerk said the mail would
arrive in Namibia in four to six weeks. Two to four months
is probably more like it, so send soon!
