A trailer of library books has reached Salima, Malawi from contributors in Canada, through the efforts of Universal Aid and the Malawi Project. At the same time the new community library constructed through funding from the Malawi Project, as well as from other supporters and members of the Malawi Paratroop Battalion based in Senga Bay is nearing window high in its construction.
The library will serve an area along the lakeshore that has no library facilities currently, yet contains a total population of approximately 14,000 people.
The picture shows the size of the brick structure that will house the book and study area along with the headmaster’s office. The building is situated at the Para Secondary School on the grounds of the Parachute Battalion in Senga Bay.
