Books:  Rotary Book Drive Update

Uganda is like most sub-Saharan African countries.  High quality children’s books are rare and in rural areas, practically non-existent.  Primary aged children go to government-run schools where one would expect to find books, but most rural primary schools are crumbling, over crowded, and do not have libraries.  Books are a luxury.  The story is the same for secondary schools.  Those students who have the opportunity to attend secondary school rarely get to hold a book in their hands. 

In 2009, Evergreen Rotary and Denver West Rotary Clubs partnered to bring books to children in Uganda.  The books arrived in July 2010 and  are now in the hands of children.  Various schools, including St. Denis, St. Stephen's Children's Center, and Namabaale Primary School, received books.
