PLYMOUTH —More than 1,000 books were loaded up and prepared to be shipped to the Philippines, where they will be used in newly built public libraries.
Boy Scouts, along with one Cub Scout group, from packs 257 and 251, met at the Amor Family house, where they loaded up the books donated in the name of June Amor, who recently passed away. 

“She loved books and loved to read.  She was still going to college at the age of 65.  She got cancer, and while fighting it, also studied it.  She was able to talk to doctors as if she was one, using all the big words,” says her brother Russell Amor.  “I'm sure she is looking down on us right now, and is happy with what we are doing,” says Russell.
Books collected by The Singles Ministry were then packaged and shipped to the Philippines.  The Singles Ministry helps men find devoted life-mates from overseas.  They have helped over eight hundred men find their wives, according to Founder Rob Grigsby.
“Public libraries in the Philippines are almost unheard of.  Most libraries can only be found in colleges.  This is a way to touch the most people, with the least amount of money, and that will last a long time,” says Grigsby.  
After the books were loaded up, as a thank you, helpers were treated to a traditional Philippine lunch, prepared by the wives of the ministry’s members.
People having books that they would like to donate, are encouraged to contact Robert at 574-498-6777.  More libraries are being built and The Singles Ministry will continue their mission, in helping to get books in the hands of the Philippine community.
