Last October, Laurence Zerafa, a retired librarian at MCAST, initiated a project for people to donate much needed books on different subjects from pre-primary to university level for Tanzanian libraries.
The response to his Facebook appeal was overwhelming. 50,000 books have been donated to be sent to 60 libraries in Tanzania.
Volunteers are urgently needed to organise and pack books in boxes.
Kindly pass on the word to any of your contacts who would be interested to assist. This work would be greatly appreciated.
