The Library at Nyumba ya Masambiro

One of the projects I oversaw when I was the project manager at Nyumba ya Masambiro was the cataloguing of the library and its internal construction. Here are three sequential photographs; seemingly endless boxes of books, the library under construction and the finished room. This resource is now fully open and available to both the people of Ruarwe and the surrounding area. The village is inaccessible by road, it is incredibly isolated, it is incredibly full of amazing people, young and old. This library is now there for them, it is home to a huge range of books, it is one part of radically improving the opportunities and futures of people who welcomed me into their homes. The charity I was volunteering for, Phunzira, have done an absolutely amazing thing here and I am proud to be a part of it. www.phunzira.co.uk. Dan
