Work continues on the new library
A large container arrived in Jinja on September 20th, 2008. It came by way of ship, over the Pacific to Kenya, and finally arrived, carrying many essential items to bless the lives of the children at Omega School and the surrounding villages. Among the many clothes, computers, and even wheel chairs were lots of books to help establish a library on the school grounds.
A “Clean Well-Lighted Place” for books
Most of the classrooms at Omega School are open air buildings. This blesses the children with good ventilation in such a warm climate; but unfortunately open air does not offer the same blessing for books. A more western style building needs to be constructed to properly care for the books, keeping them safe and dry. Work has begun on the building and soon the children will have their library.
A special thank you goes out to Larry and Mary Carter, and to their friends and family for their efforts in filling the new library and constructing it. All this, so the Omega kids may come to know what an amazing treasure a library can be. The children and their families face difficult challenges in Uganda. There is no limit to the advantages that will emerge from their access to so many books. If you feel led to contribute to this effort as well, please note, “For the library” on your donation form.
