Dear Friends,

We at Kwani? kindly request you to donate children's books, particularly by African writers, to the libraries in Mathare North and Eastleigh, run by MYSA (Mathare North Youth Association). Mrs. Anne Moore ([email protected]) is a librarian and has worked very hard to get these libraries organised.

The official opening of the Mathare North MYSA Library will be on Sat 27th Feb and will be presided over by Ms Beverly Naidoo, ([email protected]), a children's author from the UK, and Yvonne Adhiambo, Winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing, 2003 (www.kwani.org).

Kwani? visited this library on Wed 17th Dec 2003. We did give them a few of our books (Kwani? and Discovering Home), but felt that they needed books meant for younger children as well. The children's ages range from 3 years to young adults. More importantly, we gave them some pencils and notebooks to write a story on our visit...and I am proud to report that we have some award winning potential writers out there! We are now planning a visit to the Eastleigh library on Sat Feb
7th, so bring on the (literary) goodies.

We will gladly receive your donations at our offices (see address below), but feel free to get in touch with Anne Moore directly for more information on this.
