Changing lives book by book is the African Library Project’s tagline. But do you ever wonder exactly how ALP libraries change lives?
What follows is a thank you letter from the teacher-librarian at Middlepits Primary School in Middlepits, Botswana in which she explains the impact of the ALP library at her school.
We still need Book Drive Organizers to help create libraries in Botswana. You can help change lives there by signing up today for a book drive.
The thank you letter tells the story.
Dear ALP,
Our school has been struggling in the past years and producing extremely below average grades. Shortage of learning resources, such as books, was then identified as one of the major causes of such a painful experience. Since the birth of our school in 1987, achieving quality performance has been an uphill challenge, which is clearly indicated by the school performance in the Primary School Leaving Examination results.
