LUYODEFO seeks funding of over $6,000 to pay partial ocean freight, customs clearing and inland transport for a container of books donated by B.I.G. B.I.G has accepted to donate the books and only awaits for our option concerning arrangements for shipping and clearing for the container.The shipment is a 20’ container with 20 palettes of books – about 20,000 to 25,000 books ++. The donated books will used in setting up mobile libraries, reading competitions and campaigns to promote reading. We will contact over 10 village schools to organize book subscription lending services through mobile libraries and home libraries so that the teachers can bring children and books together.
