They just opened two weeks ago, and as you can see, they can certainly use some more resources.
Their plan is to be a regional information hub and they hope to have the resources to promote language study and to act as a technical library for improved farming techniques. They are working on getting solar power to run a computer, photocopier, TV and VCR/DVD player in order to make multimedia available to the local community.
Right now they are requesting books!
Especially:
- French/English dictionaries, textbooks, and other learning materials
- Atlases and Travel Guides with pictures
- Childrens Books
Materials can be sent to me or directly to the librarian:
Bibliotheque CLIC
Tendry Maharavo Joël
c/o Chez Meur. Le Chef ZAP
EPP Morarano Gare
Moramanga 514
Madagascar
If you want to do anything else to help out, like organize a drive to cover the shipping costs on a box of books, let me know!
Hey Ryan, I sent out a few emails to book distributers and you should have two boxes of books being mailed from two of the companies (who have responded to me so far). I hope it works out... I'm not entirely sure what books they are sending.
