Around 2,000 books were delivered to the school!! Thank you to Scholastic for donating the books ranging from nursery to seventh grade level. The books will remain in the appropriate classrooms until we have a proper library. Here's to growing the passion for reading!

Fetching water from a distance is no longer necessary for the people in Abiya Village. Especially the children of Ibeneneka Learning Community Center. The water taps are accessible at the school site. The students, parents and the staff members wish to convey their gratitude to the generous donations from the USA that helped too facilitate the project, in their own words, "we are very happy even the insects are happy" - Lance
