Workers made steady progress on the library during April and May in spite of quite a few days of rain. The roof was successfullly completed in May. Work continues in June with windows being installed this week.
We were all relieved when the windows were finally done because lack of electricity in the town where the windows were being welded delayed their installation by a couple of weeks. As soon as the windows are in, final finishing work will take place inside the building. Your support of our library project on GlobalGiving has made all this possible!
The library will give both teachers and students access to the many books that donors have provided for the library including a up to date encyclopedia set which is very important in an area which does not have any easy access to the internet.
We are raising additional funds to purchase Ugandan textbooks and other resources including maps on Uganda and East Africa. Students will be able to access these study materials during their free time. This is important because most students have no personal textbooks.
We hope that the final library funding can soon be completed. If not, then cementing of the outside veranda may be delayed. Nonetheless, the library can still be used.
We plan on traveling to Agwata by mid-July to help the new librarian set up the shelving and organize books on the library shelves. We'll keep you posted and have lots more photos in July once we arrive on site!
