A library is the only single place you can go to lean something new, be comforted, terrified thrilled, saddened, overjoyed or excited all in one day and for free. But for Haraka primary School it has been one of the dreams since it was established.
On my last visit to my home village, I visited the Haraka School in southern Tanzania with my friends and we saw that children hardly have any books to read. The story of the teacher and children touched us very much and brought us close to tears, because they reminded me of my own childhood. I went at the same school and I can barely say how many books I read to exercise by reading skill. Until to date there isn't any change. Teachers have only one book on each subject, used for 30 students in the class. It is quite challenging.
One of the building which is not used can be renovated and later be used as library.
"Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to
that of an ignorant nation"
- Walter Cronkite
Children have ambition. I sincerely hope that these very ambitious children, just like us, are equipped with a good education for the struggle of life, and that they can as well have a little experience on reading different topics found on books , if only they would have a library.
For this reason, we have made it our task to collect donations and thus enable the establishment of a very first library. The house you see on this page (see photo), it is unused, ready to renovate. To push the project forward and start construction of the building, the only thing missing is the financial means.
We urgently need this financial support. Every cent counts.
