One Young World Nigeria (OYWON) initiative is launching its first project “Adopt a Library” to help refurbish AND BUILD libraries in public secondary school in Nigeria.
We are setting off this project with Ilado community Secondary School, Lagos after which we hope to sweep across Lagos. Cool eh? A lot of the selected schools are overjoyed us to have us - AND YOU - working with them to develop their libraries. So to make our effort is a success, here’s what we need:
- Books, Books, Books: all your old reference books, textbooks, storybooks, literature books, dictionaries, language books, unused notebooks… All kinds of books!!!
- Buckets of paints: white, green and blue
- Paint brushes
- Tables
- Chairs
- Book Shelves (in modules)
We have included information on how you can get involved (even from the comfort of your home).
For those who have already sent in books and others that have volunteered their time to help build shelves, paint, redesign the libraries or act as collection points for the books… THANKS A GREAT DEAL!!!
Help for this effort cannot be exhaustive and we hope that YOU too can join all the other young, brilliant and positive thinking Nigerians that have volunteered their time & support to accomplish this task.
