What a great project! I was in New Akrade in Oct. and have collected about 1000 books for classroom use at New Akrade Prysby Junior High and Primary School. Were books mailed from the US to Senchi Ferry? If so, can someone tell me how it was done--what postal service and were there custom problems or charges once they arrived? Thanks for any advice you might provide, Tammy

Just came back from a 2 week stint in New Akkrade. I love this community and am very happy to see this project coming along.

I just returned from a two-week stay at Senchi and the Library is very close to having its roof (it may even be there by now). We have video footage of workers on this phase of the library, including four of my team members. My daughter and I have begun collecting book donations to send. I would love to hear from others about similar projects to stock the library!

I just got back from Senchi where the Library is making GREAT progress. The whole community is so excited. There were 18 volunteers in our group and we had people working on the library every day for the whole 3 weeks. I taught a 3rd grade class in Senchi and they only had one reading book. The class had memorized the book since they have been reading it over and over for the past year! I am so excited for the people of Senchi Ferry to have a place to read. What a beautiful gift.
