Summary

4,000 tween and teen boys and girls of Christ's School, Ado-Ekiti Nigeria get 2 functional youth-friendly libraries restored in style following a twenty-year water-destruction of the old library

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

4000 boys and girls of ages 10-19 will get another chance to travel the world in a comfortable seat in the library, their horizon will broaden and will no longer be limited to classroom instructions.

Students will be able to foster their interest, see innovations in arts, sciences and social disciplines. Improved social skills for students, gender equalisation, competition
