Welcome to the Books for Rwanda Project site where you can pledge a book for the country's first ever public library.

This is a transition page for our efforts until such time our organization's website, Project RAFT International, goes up and running. When this happens, we'll direct you to the new website.

In a few days, I will be uploading important documents about the new library and you may also go to their official website http://www.kigalilibrary.org/index.html

You may want to help them directly or join our efforts as a community...your choice. The most important thing is we get them the help they need.

Details on how to join us are on the page "Donate a Book"...

To pledge a book for collection by our organization, please post a message here with your name (optional), e-mail, and the title of the book, and any special instructions.

If you prefer not to post your contact details for the whole group to see, please e-mail me, Jacques DM Gimeno, at jacqyves@gmail.com.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We're currently negotiating with a shipment company to help ship the books to Rwanda. What you can do is pledge at least one - just one book, for us to pick up in the near future.

It would be great if you can pledge educational books that would aid Rwandan students in their studies.

BE FAITHFUL TO YOUR PROMISE

Once you've made your pledge known to us, write a simple message and your name and country on the inside flap of the book. Let Rwandans know how much you care and they will be ever so grateful.

WAIT AWHILE

Once we reach our target of 1,000 books and secure cooperation from a shipper, we would let you know how we will gather the books from your respective countries. During this time, we would also be looking for volunteer representatives from different countries to help collect the books.

We hope that you'd take time to really think about this important matter.

JUST ONE BOOK WILL HELP SO MANY RWANDANS...IMAGINE WHAT 1,000 CAN DO
