Project Butterfly is a program dedicated to building libraries in Uganda, East Africa. This book donation event aims to collect used books and build another 3 libraries for K-8 students in Africa. To express endorsement of their actions, the AYLUS San Diego Committee organized a used book collection event on Nov 11, 2022.
The donated books were collected by our volunteers from their own families this time. By donating books, AYLUS hopes to make literature and knowledge accessible to all. With this book donation event, we also want to call out to our community regarding the importance of education, especially to those less fortunate than us.
A total of 8 boxes, ~300 books are collected to support another 3-5 libraries, which will be established in Uganda next year.
AYLUS Members that participated this event (1.0 Volunteer hours for each) were:
Yicheng Liu, Enze Luo, Enke Luo,Kevin Kan, Lauren Kan, Nathan Yang, Helena Jiang.
