More details
I am trying to set up community learning centers/libraries in Zimbabwe to help young people have access to educational resources and opportunities. Many school children do not have books, and other learning resources, and are therefore less likely to be motivated to learn and obtain a substantial education. I believe that books could have a great impact in elementary, middle and high school students' lives, especially in community settings. I therefore appeal to you to donate a 'used' book (be it a school textbook, a novel, or an educative magazine)towards this cause. Please feel free to donate any other useful item that may serve as a resource for a young mind that is eager to learn.
Please contact me at lesnyirenda@gmail.com for further detail.
