As part of our commitment to service-learning, the Delta Program has teamed with a non-profit organization called the African Library Project to create primary school libraries in two villages in Swaziland, southern Africa. The African Library Project works to improve literacy rates in rural Africa by pairing villages with sponsor organizations in the US. Starting in November, Delta will be sponsoring a book drive to collect and ship gently used books that will stock a Kindergarten-Grade 4 library in our assigned village in Manzini, Swaziland.
We encourage families to look through their homes for gently used books that can be donated to this effort. Although we will accept all donations, we particularly need:
- Baby board books
- Children's picture books
- Children's fiction and non-fiction
- Early readers
- Juvenile literature
- Children's dictionaries
- Children's encyclopedias (less than 15 years old)
- Thesauruses
- Teacher resources
To learn more about the African Library Project and the involvement of SCASD schools, please view the below public service announcement specially created for our website or visit the African Library Project website at http://www.africanlibraryproject.org.
Thank you for helping us to provide access to books where there has been none before. Together we can make a difference!
