Now open: Maramboso School Library!

On Tuesday, January 18th we officially opened the doors on the new Maramboso School Library! 

The event was a huge gala with students, staff and the press all in attendance.  After the requisite dedication speeches in Swahili, everyone had a chance to enter the library for the first time.  The library is stocked with the following:
-  ~700 story books (more coming from the US!)
-  ~100 non-fiction books
-  ~800 Tanzanian text books purchased in Arusha
-  Art projects from every student at the school (Thanks to Leigh!)

Leigh and I are incredibly thankful for the 100+ sponsors of this incredible project.  None of this would have been possible without your generosity.  Your donations will truly make a difference in the education of the children at Maramboso.

The photo album has many more pictures from the event.
