Trudy Marshall will talk to us about Rotary sponsored libraries in Kenya and Uganda. Trudy is a member of
the Pflugerville Rotary. From Trudy:
Uganda was just another sight seeing trip for me in 2001. I was a teacher, but was working on a degree in library science at the time. I visited schools and found no books. I traveled for 3 years and then returned to Uganda to do one library in 2005. Now, in 2019, we have 41 libraries in schools in Uganda, and 7 very remote in Maasai land in Kenya. We also have a large sponsored student program. We continue to add new libraries, but also restock all of our previous ones. I live in Uganda and Kenya six months each year.
