			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s always great to meet with our partners face to face and to show them around our South Bend, Indiana warehouse so they can really get a feel for what&#8217;s we&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>Just last week we had a visit from Shaun Skelton, Executive Director of Visions In Action and Pat Plonski, Executive Director of Books For Africa where we  discussed ongoing collaborative opportunities.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4410" title="warehousedavidpat" src="http://blog.betterworldbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/warehousedavidpat.jpg" alt="warehousedavidpat" /></p>
<p>Visions In Action is shipping seven containers of books to South Africa, Uganda, and Tanzania, with Books For Africa providing the books and Better World Books and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) providing funding.</p>
<p>“Better World Books is our number one funder, our number one source for college textbooks, and our number one source of visibility on some 800 college campuses across North America,” Plonski noted. “Their support has been critical to our success, and it was great to tour their facilities and meet their staff.”</p>
<p>&#8211;Always a pleasure Pat!  We&#8217;re so glad you do what you do.  Thanks for stopping by!</p>
