My Library Project

“A library outranks any other one thing
a community can do to benefit its people.
It is a never failing spring in the desert.”
~Andrew Carnegie


I am trying to raise money to build a library for our school here in Kpalime, with construction work starting on February 1st.  We have a room, but it needs paint, flooring, a ceiling, bookshelves, furniture, and most importantly, BOOKS. We need text books for classes K-8, reference books, and it would also be great to have a collection of books for recreational reading. The way it is now, students only have notebooks in class to write info from the blackboard. That's it. And that's only the ones who can afford to buy their own notebook. 

Here is a link to my project, where you can make a tax-deductible contribution! ANY amount you can donate will be greatly appreciated...no amount is too small. Even one book is more than most of these classrooms have right now. Thank you so much for helping to improve education and introduce a love of reading to these very deserving children.
