- Malala Yousafzai
We were inspired to start this project when we visited Lubwe, the village where our mother grew up. During our stay, we were lucky enough to each get the chance to teach a class at her old school. At Lubwe mission girls school, we received a very warm welcome and we were very happy to see the girls' eagerness to learn.
However, we were saddened to see that the school was not able to supply all the necessary materials to help satisfy their minds. As avid readers, we both believe that an ever-growing mind needs books, just like our bodies need food. So we started to think about what we could do to help.
The first thing that came to mind was to help set up a school library by donating the books we have at home. But we soon realized that such a small effort just wouldn't be enough, because like those lovely girls we met, there are many other boys and girls, eager to learn, but lacking access to information. Which is why we're aiming to make this a mobile initiative, distributing books throughout Luapula province. We will be working with Ingwee education project, an organization that is already active in the area.
