Family came together to collect Book by Book

African Library Project 2022: Telle Primary School, Lesotho

In 2021, Bhuvana began the first book drive for Uganda. With her success story, she signed up for more projects in 2022 with her friends and community kids. This is ongoing. During this book drive to Lesotho – Telle Primary School, the family (all cousins) came together to create a library. A togetherness for a noble cause is very rewarding. We had a lot of fun doing this project.

The greatest book lover we ever knew, our parental grandma always treasured every opportunity to get her hands on a book. Everyone learned from her how education creates knowledge and provides access to a better life. No one should be restricted in their education because they lack resources. Everyone should get equal opportunity. We want to keep promoting and directing initiatives like African Library Project that benefit communities, raise awareness of issues there, and help others achieve.
