Specifically, we are raising funds for renovation of the central library building, which has been abandoned for the past 20 years. The new library will house a much-needed computer and work center for the young generation, as well as a museum to preserve the important history and culture of the region (currently at risk of being lost and forgotten).Don’t miss this amazing chance to immerse yourself in the culture of Africa and be transported by the Cosmic Orb!
