After listening to a CBC radio interview with two teenagers from Oakville, KO Education Advisor, Gloria Hendrick-Laliberte contacted them to find out more about their initiative called Books with No Bounds.

After a few emails and phone calls, a request for books for the KO communities with schools was made.

The girls made sure that they had shipments of books for the KO schools. Since that time they have sent books, resources, and craft supplies to the schools.
