Nick needs to receive as many as votes as possible to go through to the final where an overall winner will be decided by a judging panel and crowned Digital Hero of the Year. 

If successful Nick and the Pelican Post Team will be able to use the funds to roll out a whole new programme of school links with schools across Africa and implement changes to the scheme that will further enhance delivery services to participating schools.  Crucially, the award will also help generate further awareness about the scheme and hopefully inspire more people to post a book.

As a teacher from one of the participating schools recently commented;

“Nick Johnson’s scheme is superb, well targeted and a sustainable one. Everyone wins and the scope for corruption is minimal. It deserves support.”

Voting closes at Midnight on the 12^th November 2010, so please tell your friends and family to vote too…
