Counting Sheep... Goats, Rabbits Aaannnddd Books!

We’re finally packing the first 6 boxes of books we are taking to Sunzu Village Library & Community Centre in Rwanda.

And we’re working with a couple of airlines to get the rest of the boxes over there in the next few months, timed with the completion of construction.

It’s been almost a year since we helped slog those enormous rocks that formed the building’s foundation.

And the concrete has all been poured and set in/around the rebar supports we moulded, elbow to elbow with other volunteers.

What joy to see a recent photo of the building.

According to Dan, 

"We have put up new roof beams and will have the tiles back on within 2 weeks. We are starting windows and doors. I do not anticipate completion of interior works by April but we are hoping for June/July. So many thanks your way!"

 getting the foundation right.

 wow, a whole building has arisen thanks to months of hard labour in the local community...and a bit of help from many different friends from all over

All the generosity of the friends and family of our little foundation is finally coming to fruition.
Happy Reading to everyone who has the benefit of entering the Sunzu library doors.
Hopefully this is only the first of more libraries to come!
