We are one third of the way to having our libary fully funded. Our goal is to complete our fundraising for the library addition no later than early January so that we can begin construction on the library in January. We estimate that it will take 30 to 45 days to complete. This would mean that students and teachers could begin using the library no later than the beginning of the 2nd term of school which starts in early June.
We have alwo written a separate grant request asking for funding for the necessary furniture, shelving, and equipment to be used inside this room. We've attached a photo from July of our first grade teacher, Irene. Irene was showing us how she stores reading books for her students right now--in a suitcase which is quite cumbersome to use and does not store very many books. We currently have 300 primary reading books on hand in Uganda. There is just no place to store them where they can be easily accessed by students and teachers until the library addition is completed.
We thank you so much for your early contributions to this project. We hope that this will in turn excite other donors to come on board with additional donations to complete it. If you know of any connections to school librarians or library associations that might want to join in helping, please let us know.
