The day to finally launch the Mahandakini Community Library is fast approaching! We need more books/magazines! The Library is targeting all age groups and reading levels. Reference books are greatly appreciated, biographies, Kenyan/African Writers and/or content, books related to trade skills, agriculture, livestock, handicrafts, children's books, novels (preferably not trashy ie mills & boon or 50 shades of grey) Books on wildlife and environmental conservation. Old Nat Geo's, New Science, Swara, New African, New's Week, Time, or any Mags with similar content to the above mentioned books! If we cant use the old mags in the library we will simply up-cycle them into some beautiful products for Poachers to Protectors.
So far two Kenyan publishing houses, Queenex books and Njigua Books have pledged books, along with
Teddy Kinyanjui from Cookswell Energy Efficient Stoves, Tess Chillala from GVI Kenya and other well wishers. All this will ad to donations already received from Gustovian Nominees Australia and the guys from Football for Africa. We now have a really nice collection of books on a variety of topics for age range and reading level. Its all a bit exciting really.
If your in anywhere near Killimanjarro and you are at a loose end on the 16th of Feb please come along to show your support. there will be Soda & Bisquits for those who arrive early!
This is how the library looks now - we cant wait to post another update when the next round of donations arrive!
