The Her Farm Library

We want to thank all of those individuals who donated books for the Nepal project. We are very excited to tell you that as of today there is a library up at Her Farm. It's actually more of a reading corner but it will grow as more books come. 

It all started with collecting the books. Library's donated as well as individuals. They came in boxes, trash bags, and bins. No matter how they came, they came and from all over the tristate area. Thank You!!!

Once in Nepal our hurdle was how to get them up the mountain to Her Farm. With the oncoming rain we had to be sure to get them up sooner rather than later as traveling the road up the mountain would become very dangerous. 

We repackaged all the books in one large red bag and hoped for the best. Luckily the day had been dry and a truck met us at the bottom of the mountain. We loaded the books in the back and headed to Her Farm. Only once did it look like we were not going to make it. 

The books now unloaded and put in their place in the school house look amazing. We've sorted them out by reading levels. As all the kids and women are at different levels we are hoping this will help.

As one learns to read they open a whole world of opportunities and a door to imagination. 

Thank you again to all those who helped make this reading corner library possible.

Our next challenge is getting the kids to finish their homework early so they have time to read. Hopefully seeing the new books will get them excited.
