African Library Project (ALP) is an international network of partners, volunteers, and community supporters, book drives are transformed into sustainable libraries. Volunteers in North America organize book drives by rallying their communities to collect gently used children’s books and raise funds for shipping. AYLUS Morrisville Branch launched our African Library Project (ALP) this summer. Our enthusiastic volunteers organized book drives to collect books. We hope these books will help underserved schools and communities in need of books.
From 10/4 – 10/7, our branch members sorted and packed 14 boxes of 1005 books. These books are shipped out to Uganda on Oct. 9th, 2024. The two libraries we shipped out are Uganda: The Tsuri International Christian School Library and Uganda: Hade Community Library. They will serve Nansana, Nabweru, Busukuma & Gombe, 29 wards and 130 villages in Uganda. We hope to continue to contribute to the African Library Project.
Volunteers are:
Taylor Zhong (3 hours), Lucy Zhao (1.5 hours), Kenna Zhang (2 hours), Claire Zhong (1.5 hours).
