On August 25th, 2024, the AYLUS Orlando branch conducted a large-scale book sorting and packaging event at our warehouse, where we stored a collection of 2,500 books. This event was an essential part of our ongoing efforts to support literacy initiatives by ensuring that these donated books are properly organized and ready for distribution to communities in need, including those supported by Tito Peter’s Free Public Library in the Philippines. Participants arrived at the warehouse and immediately began the meticulous process of unpacking the books from the hundred or so boxes in which they were stored. Each box was carefully detached and unfolded, and the materials were properly disposed of to maintain a clean and efficient workspace. With the books now accessible, the team spread them out across the warehouse floor, arranging them into piles of 12 for an accurate count. This task required patience and attention to detail, as the sheer volume of books meant that the counting process was time-consuming. Once all the books were organized into piles, the participants conducted a final count by tallying the individual stacks. After confirming the total, the books were gathered into a single, condensed area for a group photo, capturing the hard work and dedication of the team. Finally, the books were repacked into boxes, carefully prepared for packaging and shipment to their final destinations.
