Courtney Smith, a college student living in Minnesota, forwarded this photo from Image, Tanzania, where a ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø container was received and distributed in 2005.
About 25,000 math, financial, medical, business studies and other categories of books were donated to the Angolan Ministry of Education by ESSO Angola, in partnership with TAAG (National Airlines).
ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø spent the first week of June in Washington, DC, meeting with African ambassadors, U.S. congressional leaders, the African Union, donors, and development partners. Highlights included participation in African Union events, advocacy meetings on Capitol Hill, and the annual Summit Society Reception hosted by the Kenyan Embassy. The reception welcomed donors and diplomatic representatives from 10 African countries and featured the distribution of Merck/MSD e-readers loaded with medical resources for healthcare professionals across Africa. The visit strengthened relationships with key partners and generated new opportunities to expand ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø's impact across the continent. Executive Director Patrick Plonski called the meetings highly productive and an important step toward increasing the shipment of books and educational resources to Africa.
ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø is excited to announce a new partnership with the San José State University School of Information to help expand access to books, libraries, and educational resources across Africa. As part of this partnership, SJSU School of Information is supporting a fundraising effort to fund three containers of books—one bound for Kenya, one for Nigeria, and one for Ghana. Together, these shipments will help put thousands of books into the hands of students, educators, families, and communities across the three countries. The fundraising effort will be highlighted during Gardens of Hope for Africa, an intimate gathering taking place Tuesday, November 10, 2026, from 12:00–2:00 p.m. PT at Pegasus Gardens in Marin County, California.
