I have been a volunteer with BFD for three years now. I have enjoyed my Saturday mornings having coffee with a great group of people who are passionate about literacy and just enjoy spending a few hours making a difference amongst nice people! I recently went on a mission trip with this group to Belize and can tell you that every dollar donated and book donated is put to good use.
