Walls painted!...Terrazzo done!....Furniture in place!......Computers purchased!!

The whirlwind of activity is slowing down for the school break during December and January.  Phase I of the E-Library, with seating for 64, will be ready for the students' return on February 4th of 2019.  The start of the 2019 academic year will have a beautiful space for study for students, textbooks and research materials, along with computers connecting the facility to the world.  The community will be welcomed as users, too.  

What a wonderful way to start the new academic year.  Thank you to all who have participated in the fundraising to-date, which completed the first phase of the E-Library.  The books from the former, tiny campus library will be moved to the new space along with those newly purchased texts and research books.  The first Dell computers will be ready for use by the community and the students. 

For now, the Parents Executive Committee, who provided the building that houses the library on the top floor, has toured the facility.  The IT consultant, who generously donates his time, has helped purchase the computers.  The doors will open when the campus is again fully staffed in February. 

We will continue to raise funds for Phase II of the E-Library.  A variety of books selected by the faculty, and the furniture necessary to provide seating for an additional 103 people, is all that remains to be funded. It can all be accomplished. This rural Uganda community will benefit from the E-Library for decades.  A door has been opened to the world. Thank you for past and future support!
