It’s wonderful to see artists reach out and use their celebrity status for the good of others. I have a lot of respect for Ludacris and the hard work, effort, and money he’s put towards the many organizations he supports. This time, Luda is parterning with DoSomething.org and Better Wold Books on a new venture that hits very close to home:
“Fast Five” star Ludacris is helping launch an effort serving the students in the Recovery District of New Orleans.
Global bookstore Better World Books and teen not-for-profit DoSomething.org are launching an “Epic Book Drive” initiative, which will empower young people nationwide to run community book drives to re-stock libraries in New Orleans’ Recovery School District. Better World Books will provide free shipping to all groups organizing drives and will schedule a pick-up for any group that collects over 150 full cartons of books.

Six years ago, one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States struck the city of New Orleans leaving the most significant amount of deaths and casualties. This coastline disaster also destroyed most of the city’s public buildings including schools. According to report, 80% of schools in New Orleans were damaged by Hurricane Katrina and in most underserved areas, there’s one (1) book for every 300 children.
Six years after the tragic natural disaster called Hurricane Katrina, rapper/actor Ludacris is stepping up to help rebuild the community of New Orleans. How is he trying to help the cultured city? By helping re-stock and replenish its various public schools libraries. Hundreds of libraries and schools were destroyed in 2005 and many are still incapable of restoring their educational book supply.
