Maucale School’s New Library
It may not look like much – but this tiny library is a massive step forward for Macuale School. Until now, there has been absolutely no books available for the children. Our previous attempts to introduce libraries to the schools have resulted in books packed away in boxes in the teacher’s room and never used. This library is a direct result of the training course the teacher’s attended last month. We couldn’t ask for better proof that the course was successful.

Thanks to Rotary Club of Melbourne for funding all of the costs of the workshop, teachers’ travel, food and accommodation.
