Hello and Thank you! for visiting Books
for Zambia.
We at Books for zambia strive
to arm the young people and indeed the community of
Luanshya with the so much needed education and knowledge
through supporting the only Library in this small
town in Zambia with books and other amenities. The
library is mostly frequented by School children and
aiding Luanshya's youth with their education is not
only motivating but will make for a brighter and better
future.
Starting in January
2008, Helen Kaunda Memorial Library will be undergoing
rehabilitation work and will be closed until March
of 2008. This work is made possible under ZCCM-IH
Copperbelt Environment Project, and the World Bank
will fund the rehabilitation works. This is such a
great leap for the library and we at Books for Zambia
are more determined than ever to fill the new shelves
with books.
Books for Zambia is
not a funded project and as such we ask that donors
ship the books themselves. Yes, we will take even
that one book. All we ask is that the books be mildly
used and be in one piece.
For 2008 our emphasis will be on -
* Children's books
* Text books in Engineering, Science and Math at all
levels
* All other reading material, including novels are
also appreciated
* Computers
For 2007 our special thanks go to the Librarian
at Cathedral High School of Boston, Massachusetts
and Mr Thomas Mambwe of Kent, UK for going the extra
mile to get books to Luanshya.
Thank you for your support and lets keep the knowledge
flowing.
