John St Julien hasn't added a story.
In January 2015 Uchria will be hosting the first "Afruitcan Roots Fruit Festival!" In conjunction with the event, we will be aiming to build the first library for the schools in Uchira to use.
Schools here are ill equipped to say the least!
You can't expect a child to learn to read, without having something to read! Yet that is the situation millions of children in rural tanzania are faced with.
Building a library will give access to reading materials, learning aids and most importantly a much improved quality of education for the thousands of children living in and around Uchira.
I remember the excitement of learning to read as a child, how books opened up my mind to new knowledge, adventures and possibilities. It pains to know so many children who haven't access to that joy in life, this project can change that for 1000's of children both in the present, and many years to come!
For just £5 we can lay a large breezeblock brick for the library and buy a book to put on the shelves too!
1000 bricks is the goal! Which will be £5000
If we reach our goal of 1000 bricks, and 1000 books Uchira has its first library!
Can you help lay a brick or two for Uchira's first library?
As always thank you for any and all the support we get,
Asante sana!
John and the children of Uchira.
