[female #1] This is Elementary Statistics. [female #2] England. >>[female #3] Nursing's over there. [female #4] We wanted to give something back. It's all about giving something back. And at 64 years old, you better give back while you still can. [male #1] What the content is— [male #2] Books for Africa—we are the world's largest shipper of donated books to the African continent. We ship books to every country but 2 in Africa. As of last month, we've shipped 28 million books. [female #3] I had no idea something this big, this efficient, this ambitious existed until I heard about it from AARP, and now I want to do something. [male #2] I'm the only full-time employee with five part-time employees, and me and myself can't pack and ship 3 million books a year, which we're doing. [female #4] I felt the need for more people to become volunteers to help with this project because I believe that if everybody did a little something, there would not be a need. [male #2] Without volunteers, nothing's getting to Africa. [female #3] AARP is so much more than a lot of people know. The fact that they commit to organize, to get all these people together, and when you see that, it feels very alive, very meaningful, very person-to-person, very individual. And it no longer seems like a huge impersonal institution, but rather it's people, and it's people helping people. The more I know about AARP, the more I respect it, the more grateful I am to be a part of it.
