Just last week a Starfish community volunteer made a donation of 26 books to the library. He had collected the books that belonged to his neighbours inside the camp and his family, in order to donate them to the library so they could be used by others. "I am doing this donation to make these books useful" were his words when he gave them to us.
It is because of him, people like you and many more beautiful stories that keep happening with this project that is helping us to being able to continue and improve it.
During the “LittlebyLittle” campaign on GlobalGiving fundraising, our community of supporters surprised us again. It has been a huge success and we are eternally grateful for the support we have received; your donations have been matched! Which doubled the amount donated. Thank you very much!
These contributions will help us improve the conditions of the library in the camp and continue to help our community volunteers in the library. The support will also go towards buying more of the books that are being requested by the camp residents that we don't have at the moment. E.g. dictionaries, Farsi and Somali books. And very importantly this helps us to maintain and improve our reading hour’s project!
Thank you very much from all the Starfish team from Lesvos.
