TO THE EDITOR:
Cheap textbooks and money to a good cause, all at the same time. How? A new Web site, mvp.unctext.com, has been launched that allows you to select your courses and find the cheapest store to order your books online.
The best part is that a portion of the profits will go to Millennium Village Project’s goal of raising $1.2 million to support microfinance, agriculture, health, and education development efforts in Sauri, Kenya. The N.C. MVP group is a student-run organization that provides the opportunity for students and professors to engage in an academic dialog to critically assess the Millennium Villages development model and its progress in achieving sustainable and scalable poverty relief.
Check it out and pass it on.
