Labels and Tags

All the books that will be given to the kids will be tagged with sticker labels exactly like the one below. Note that the labels will be placed on the inside front cover of the books, as shown below: 



Meanwhile, a note exactly like the one below will be included in all care packages: 
The note will serve dual purposes:
1. Identify for which grade level the care package is for. 
2. Identify the donor. Note that only first names will be indicated, as well as the general area where the donor is based from.

In some outreach programs I have seen and read about, the donor normally receives a small item as a token of appreciation. Please understand however, that as much as possible, I want all donations to go to the kids, less whatever incidental or logistical expenses incurred, if any at all. 

I have been thinking however, that since all care packages will be tagged with donor names, we can take pictures of the kids when they receive their packages - either individually or as a group - and send that over to the donors via electronic mail. I was also informed that normally, the nuns encourage the kids to write thank you notes. Maybe we can go that route instead. Please feel free to suggest other ideas as well.
