A few people have committed to chairs and shelves. It is in my view that we commit to furnish the place.

If we look like slowing down I will cycle to wherever you people are. And sitatoka bila kiti or whatever the library will be in need of. On top, you catch a hen for me. Vukinu dave. -With Thanks

-: Vuchee bro!! I'm glad to see that one of the matters of substance being discussed here is the library project. I still have the architectural design you drew for me. The former Canadian ambassador who was going to help me with the funding was recalled back home. But I've been inspired to renew efforts towards realising the dream.. The Erick Livumbazi Library and resource center.
