Challenges Clearing Customs

Customs regulations require detailed documentation for clearing the books and prove that the books are for donation purposes and not for commercial use. The clearance also requires the presence of a person dedicated to see that the process goes smoothly. Hashoo Foundation assigned a staff member to avoid charges for delaying clearance.

An agent was also hired to clear consignment for a fee of US $1,081 (Rs. 93,000).
The transportation of books to remote areas where educational institutions were located also created a challenge. However, this was dealt with the help of regional offices and other organizations.

Need for Books in Pakistan

Many Pakistani educational institutions are in dire need of books and educational material. Quality books are expensive; as a result teachers have to rely on out dated books.
Due to unavailability of resources schools are deprived of modern techniques of learning.
