Thanks to Safaricom, today Likoni library bought timber to add more shelves. After receiving a ksh 500,000 donation from Safaricom, the plan to add more shelves in the library is ready to be put into action.
These shelves will be used to put the new curriculum books which will also be bought using the money donated by Safaricom. The timber is hard wood which is long lasting and can not easily be eaten by terminates.
The timber will be used to make two shelves, they are 220ft and were bought at the cost of Kshs 51,700. When other costs are added the cost adds to Kshs 85,000.
This is a very huge boost to the library since it was opened because there has been no curriculum books, thanks to Safaricom the students will soon be able to access all this.
The curriculum books will be bought for students from Class One to Form Four. Also they will put some curriculum books for those in colleges and universities. The books will also be for all subjects which will really help many students.
Due to the increase of library users there is need to improve the library in every way possible. Hatua reminds all people in the community and outside to contribute anyway possible be it books, chairs, tables among others. It is important to note that there is no greater gift you can give to a person than the gift of education.
Today is a day of blessing to Hatua Likoni as we received guests from the US Embassy, Mr. Major W.Bowen, Political Officer and Mr. Richard Hatler, Senior Police Adviser.
Gabrielle Fondiller, Director of Hatua Likoni, explained to the guests about the mission and vision of the organization. They liked the goals of Hatua and hopefully we shall work hand in hand with them to maintain peace in the country and in the Likoni community.
“All people in the community should spread peace talk everywhere as violence only leads to destruction,” said Gabrielle. Having this in mind, the Likoni Youth Civic education group will not rest until their goal is achieved.
