About 20 of the PCVs in Senegal are working together with our communities to bring books to villages and school communities in Senegal through an NGO called Books for Africa. I am planning on giving books to the 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school here in Podor. Some of these schools have small libraries, whereas a few of them have no library at all. This project will be funded primarily through the generosity of people like yourself! We need to raise $8,000 to pay for the shipment of the books. If you can give a small helping hand of a couple dollars even, I will be grateful as will the students who will benefit from this project! As someone who spent much of her childhood with her nose in a book, I wish that students here had those same resources and access to knowledge.
Bring books to Senegal by donating here!

Hi Maddy and Paul,
Where do we send the books to, after we collect some books.

Is it possible to send some books directly to you?
I hope all is well, you’re both missed!
