The BODO (Buy One, Donate One) Project is the brainchild of three former UCSD students: Yousaf Husain, Nilay Shah, and Snehal Desai. Due to a passion for education and the desire to help out our local and international communities, we decided to develop this project and attended President Bill Clinton's highly selective and prestigious Clinton Global Initiative University. 

The BODO Project is based on the principle of buying one notebook for personal use and, in turn, donating one to a child lacking that same, vital resource. The BODO team is happy to collaborate with Santa Ana's Think Together Program in donating school materials (notebooks and funds) to low-income Santa Ana school students, as well as low-income students in Mexico.

Notebook sales start during Week 1 of Spring Quarter at UCSD (April 2-April 6) at a location TBA. Confirmed timings are also TBA. Please be on the lookout for more details about the upcoming sales! 
So what can you do to help in the meantime, you ask? Go like us on Facebook! Follow us on Twitter! Send us comments and suggestions at bodostudents@gmail.com! Be on the lookout for our new website! Spread the word about our cause to your friends and family! 

Thanks for your support!
