Catholic Theology books.

My friend has been posting boxes of books to African missionaries, Churches etc free of charge for a while but is now looking to downsize and has hundreds of new catholic theology books that he would like a charity or non profit organisation to continue distributing for him. Does anyone know anywhere that does this kind of thing please? The books would need to be collected from Bromley, Kent.

Has he asked his parish priest if they know of any organisations?

This is a long shot, but it might work out...

There is a Catholic university in the city of Makeni, in Sierra Leone. This is a country that recently suffered a terrible civil war, and is now in the process of reconstruction.

Makeni university has one of the best libraries in the country, thanks to a generous donation that was coordinated by a scholar in the USA called Patrick Hayes. Patrick has a PhD in Theology and so understands very well what is needed there, and has dealt with the logistical problems of getting books out to Makeni.

I don't want to post his email directly, but it is given on the right-hand side of this page http://www.redemptorists.net/province-archives.cfm

Thank you both, I have approached some charities I have found online and have asked locally with no success. I will try the email in the second post.
