ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø

Rwanda’s ambassador to the United States, Mathilde Mukantabana, will deliver the keynote address at the annual ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø for Africa fundraising luncheon on Friday, May 10 in Roseville, MN

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø relies on thousands of volunteers to handle the sorting and packaging of a variety of books. Among our amazing volunteers, Shelly Kacergis's passion and dedication stand out; Shelly has donated over 500 hours of her time to BFA!. A resident of Atlanta for thirty-two years and a retired community bank employee, she enjoys hands-on volunteer work in addition to financially supporting causes she supports. When Shelly’s not swinging a racket on the tennis court you can find her at BFA sorting the tables to make sure each book is in its proper section, and making sure all plastic items are thrown away or collected for recycling.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø was pleased to complete a shipment of books to Nigeria that was the result of a partnership stemming from 2022! Check out the presentation ceremony to the Ovie (King) of Agbarha-Otor Kingdom.

Tom Warth once visited a school library in Jinja, Uganda, that had nearly everything everything a library needs — except books.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø's most recent shipment with Child2Child included a special initiative to get French books to Togo. Read more about it in Child2Child's latest online booklet!

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø is pleased to have received confirmation that over 390,000 books shipped to three different partners in Nigeria, South Sudan, and Kenya have landed and been distributed. These books, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense Funded Transportation Program, were shipped between June and November of last year.
