Library-in-a-Box

SELI has been carrying out a "Library-in-a-Box" project with Dankawalie Secondary School, one of the Koinadugu District schools in the SRWP.

Rural schools, and especially rural schools that are made extra remote by poor roads, have little access to books. So for two years now, SELI has taken some two dozen books each time we visit and exchanged them for the books from the last visit, and handed them over to the club facilitators. Most of the books are leveled readers—either classics or books written in and for West Africa. DSS students share their reading in the journal activity held at the beginning of the club meeting, or sometimes explain why they enjoyed their book in the morning assembly.
