Our very own Elizabth made a journey back to Rawanda and got back on Friday, Sept 20th.back   She took part in the celebrations of the International Literacy Day and it went very well!  Some of the Rotary dictionaries shipped in February were used to award children and youth who won the national competitions: writing short stories, poems, plays gearing reading, etc,...  Over 100 dictionaries were awarded to children along with school suppliers, reading books,...  and Rwanda officials, partners, and beneficiaries have appreciated your support!  We are leaving a literacy legacy to generations to come.  We will continue to support as a reading culture gets introduced to a nation: Rwandans!
 
Every Library we opened holds a plaque of recognition, see picture attached. The Minister of Sport and Culture (Rwanda Library Services are under his portfolio) and Minister of Education (see rural school tote box sample we are using for rural classroom  in Muhanga and they are loaded with reading books and dictionaries),  both officials appreciated Rotary contributions and requested more dictionaries.....see picture attached, and more will be on our website.
 
We are so proud of Elizabeth and all her work in Rawanda!
