Welcome to Our African Library Project Book Drive! We are collecting new and gently used books for the Letsibogo Primary School in Botswana, which has 286 students and 14 teachers. Our goal is to collect 1,000 preschool-5th grade books. They are particularly interested in books on agriculture, social studies, science, technology and fiction. They would appreciate puzzles, flash cards and educational games. DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 19!
Congratulations to Latham Elementary joining African Library Project to set up a library in Letsibogo Primary School in Botswana. Botswana's primary school are quite underfunded and your books will be treasured by the students.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to blog about your book drive. Be sure to include what is working and what is not, so we can learn from your successes and challenges. The African Library Project is delighted to be partnering with the Winston-Salem Symphony and all of the elementary schools in Winston-Salem to help start libraries in primary schools in Botswana. What a fun and meaningful way to celebrate the Symphony's 50th birthday! - Chris Bradshaw, Founder/President of the African Library Project
