EVENT: Mandela Day Libraries
14 March 2017 - 31 August 2017

With all the hatred around the world these days I have decided to do something good. I hope to one day soon have raised enough money to open a library for underprivileged children in South Africa. All donations no matter how small will help us to one day reach our goal. I cannot do this without the help of my fantastic friends and family so please, donate today and change the course of a child's life forever.

By helping these children to learn how to read we could change the course of their life. Education is the key to a brighter future and without it these children have little hope of success. My aim is to raise as much money as possible (target $15,000.00 US (200,000 Rand): that is the cost for the books and the container) over the course of the coming weeks and months and in turn open a library for these children. Each library gives access to 1000 children for up to fifteen years. Just imagine the impact we could have on these kids' lives if we reach our target. 

Library Fund to help the children with education
