Libraries for Darfur refugees

The Book Wish Foundation is fundraising to build libraries with 5,000 books each in the Bredjing, Treguine, and Gaga refugee camps in eastern Chad, and the neabry main village of Hadjer Hadid, Chad. We believe these libraries can have an enormous impact on the education, occupational training, and, very importantly, mental health of these suffering people. Details about the project can be found here.

If you have any ideas about how to spread the word about this project and find supporters, please post here.

We would also welcome your thoughts about the ideal library for a community in crisis, which you can share here.
