Books For Africa hosted in Minnesota this week H.E. Constancia Gaspar, Ambassador from African Union to the U.S., and H.E. Agostinho Van-Dunem, Ambassador from Angola to the U.S. Both spoke at our annual fundraiser. We were pleased to have them update our Books For Africa community about issues and trends in Angola, and across the African continent. We look forward to continued collaboration in the future with these ambassadors to ship more books to Angola, and across Africa. We raised over $191,000 to ship more books to Africa. Thank you to all of our donors who helped to make this happen!
