Tangi Unene!

I need to take a few minutes to recognize all of the people who have or are currently contributing to the Ogongo Library Project. I have been amazed by the overwhelming support and involvement of the following groups and individuals:

Webster City High School (The teachers and students of WCHS worked extremely hard to organize a book drive and collect donations. They recently sent 15 boxes of book and school supplies!)

Sparta Cadet Troop 264 (These ambitious girls have been organizing a handful of fundraisers and will be pen pals with a group of my grade 9 girls)


Sparta Brownie Troop 475 (Organizing and conducting a Read-a-Thon to raise money and collect books)

Wong Publications (Donating two copies of The First Days of School)

Alfreeda (Organizing a book and poster drive at her high school in Madison)

Heidi Tumerman (Heading the Ogongo Library project, sending a million books and most importantly being such an amazing and supportive mother!)

In addition to all of the book, poster, and supply donations, we are currently at $1200 in donations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has contributed in some way! Please check out our project website at www.ogongolibrarydonations.blogspot.com
