NOW WE HAVE SHELVES!

LIGHT UP MY LIFE: PROVIDING CHILDREN WITH A FIRST READING OPPORTUNITY
Did you know that many children in Nairobi do not own any reading books, and often do not get the chance to read? Samantha Stonewigg has partnered with Sadili Oval to create a wonderful little library for estate and Kibera children who attend Sadili’s Sports for Life programme, to get their first reading opportunity. Sam plans to put together an exciting environment that will tempt children to immerse themselves in a world of books and also instill creativity through art. You can also contribute to this amazing project in the following ways:
1.   Donate books that your kids no longer need. Just drop them off at your school and we will come and pick them up.
2.   On average, a reading book costs Kshs. 300, so even if you do not have the books to donate, you can send some funds.
3.   We recently received a television set, so we can now show movies as well, so we welcome donations of dvds and tapes.
4.   Art materials, such as paints, paper, colour pencils and crayons are also very welcome.
We hope to open the doors of the children’s library and art room by the summer, and estimate that 1200 children will benefit from the learning opportunity
