Help plant a library at the Logiya Primary School in the Afar Region - home of Lucy!

A letter from the Afar Forum:

The objective of the sponsors of this noble act is to furnish the Logiya school with a functional library, books, shelving and some training.  The organization is collaborating with the department of education, the UNHCR through their TLMP program (Textbook Learning Materials Program) and these entities are the one's that did the selection for Logyia to be a model library.  

"Depending on funding, we are planning to do an assessment in April-July of 2012 and implement the next half of 2012." Said Ethiopia Reads Country Director Dana Roskey.

The goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 to cover the cost of books, furniture, shipment, transportation and training.
