I thought that this would be a good project for everyone:

Electronic charity, good use of bandwidth.

Houghton-Mifflin is giving books to children's hospitals. How many books
they give depends on how many emails they receive from people around the
world.  For every 25 emails they receive, they give one book--it seems
like a great way for family literacy people to help a good cause.

All you have to do is mail to : share@hmco.com.

I hope you can spare the seconds and let your friends know. Last year they
reached 23,000 and are way below that goal this year
