That’s good of them.

They say it was “4300 schools in all, as well as to 1700 schools and libraries in seventy seven countries of the developing world, with the generous support of the Millennium Commission and other charitable trusts – a total of more than 1,715,000 books with a bookshop value of more than £19,000,000. Surprisingly this was the only millennium project in the UK to celebrate the English language and its literature, or to concern schools and books.”
