Mi Beggy Some Ideas...

I'm writing this post as a bit of a plea on behalf of Sean, one of the other volunteers. This is Sean's second year serving as a volunteer at Black River High School, and beyond his role as head coach of their basketball team, Sean has set out to build their library at the school. From Jamaica he has been able to secure about SIX THOUSAND books from various sources in the States. The nonprofit Food for the Poor will be able to bring these books into Jamaica duty free, which is huge, but the problem is that the books must somehow get to Coconut Creek, Florida where the headquarters are located. Sean's family has been inundated with books, as they agreed to let him use their home on Long Island to store them. However, the transportation from Long Island to Florida fell through, and his family is looking at the holidays with a home decorated in cardboard boxes. We have brainstormed and brainstormed and tried many different options, but we are out of ideas as to how to get them to Florida in an economical way. That is why I am looking to all of you for some help. I am hoping that the more brains we have on this the better the chance of finding a solution. We welcome any and all suggestions! Thanks in advance for your great ideas!
