Recovery in a rehabilitation center is difficult. With an abundance of time, residents have little to occupy them in many under funded centers. Television becomes the only source of information and entertainment. Arguably, television does little to advance the mind. Recovery can be from alcohol/drug abuse, trauma, mental distress, and physical ailments. Helping those who are burdened with the task of coming back to fulfilling, useful lives could use a humanitarian effort. Rehab centers need an influx of reading material, a comfortable space, and computer/internet access. For many years, recognition of solutions to mass problems such as illiteracy, poverty, hunger, and crime can be traced to lack of educational opportunities. A volunteer effort can provide the essentials for potentially transforming lives with books of inspiration, GED materials, poetry, job related material, AA and other such books, works of fiction, self help, arts and crafts, chess, computer access and more. A person would have an alternative access to entertainment through books, make a change for the better and contribute again to society. This project was assembled in a few short months in a group effort of love led by David M. Fiebig in memorial for his brother, best friend, and best man Larry. Ongoing seasonal updates of decorations and new books are done with continued donations and volunteer effort. Thank you for your interest and support.
