A venue for a Library at Chamakanga

Today. Mzee Henry Bulungu, Edward Mbelesia and Lung'afa met at Chamakanga to discuss a potential Saniaga Library venue. 

Mr. Bulungu highlighted the challenges he had gone through before trying to establish a resource centre at Ikovero. The church/koyani identities were at conflict with 'others'. We therefore talked large on the need to base a resource centre come library in the hands of Saniaga. For patronising, ownership and sustainability. 

After the talk, we identified two places - near Chief's office and up at PAG -Chamakanga. The picture above is of the building up. Which the centre door is the one that was dedicated to be of S-CBO Library.

 A Saniaga place.... 

We shall therefore be coming to you for the simple support of stabilising it just as we did for Wangulu one. And as we shall be doing to the libraries upcoming at Gisambai and Gamalenga. We got to accomplish those this year and scale up in the next.

 - With Thanks
