Campo Student Library Project books arrive at Malawi school

The Campo Student Library Project at Campolindo High School teamed up with the global literacy nonprofit, African Library Project, to collect and ship 1,000 gently used children's books to create an elementary school library. Last school year, the club ran a book drive and multiple fundraisers to cover shipping the books to a rural community in Malawi, Africa. It took 10 months for the books to reach their destination, Pambachulu Primary School, where the books were received by local Chief Kuchombe, school administrators and parent committee leaders. The Campo students were thrilled to receive photos from Malawi showing the books that they collected in the hands of local leaders who will create a library that will benefit not only the students, but the entire community.
Campo Student African Library co-founders Emma Bennett and Gracie Woidat are currently raising funds to ship their latest collection of books to a new elementary school in Malawi, and would be grateful for support of their GoFundMe effort: www.gofundme.com/f/campo-student-african-library-project
