More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesChildren attend school without texts and have nowhere to study independently during and after school.

The library will help students avoid idleness during school breaks and avoid youthful indiscretions. ActivitiesStudents and the public will be taught the use and benefits of a library. Teachers will assign homework here. Students will read and report on books. Educational films will be shown and projects will be assigned at the library.
