I received a picture of the weekend hours at the community library in Konkourona early this morning (below) and I have been thinking about it all day. Having access to books, computers and a printer opens up so many opportunities. The library also creates a safe space for positive community interactions.
There are so many people who made this possible:
- Erin and Aaron Mulder (generous donors and voracious readers)
- David and Sali Greeley (introduced us to Friends of African Village Libraries)
- Michael Kevane (Friends of African Village Libraries – FAVL)
- Dounko Sanou (Friends of African Village Libraries – FAVL)
- Audrey Egan (ran a book drive and donated books)
- Diana Watkins (donated books)
- Chris Hebron and Business Online (donated and programmed computers)
- Benjamin Adabrah, his brother and cousin (set up computers and printer)
- Daniel Millogo (set up computers and printer)
- Edmond Millogo (purchased furniture and partnered with FAVL)
- Victorien Millogo (coordinated support in Konkourona)
- SEBRE Ayouba (led renovation of the old building)
- RAMDÉ Issaka (Librarian)
- Education Department of Lena (allowed us to use the old building)
So many lives are forever changed because of you!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
