Bring the Lubuto Library Project into PP's discussion

My dear PP members,

I would like to bring a library project in Africa into a discussion at the next PP's executive member meeting. I hope that PP members look into this project for our group's donation. Please read my introduction,visit the website and bring some ideas for the discussion on Friday, December 18th.

The Lubuto Library Project which was initiated for providing street children in Africa with opportunities to access education. Most of them are orphans who do not have primary care givers and deprived of opportunities to learn at school. Through this library service, the street children are given the access to books which will lead them to learn about the world and plan their future life. Some children use the library to study for the secondary school entrance exam, and earn a right to attend public high school. PP members, please visit their website and figure out what this project is attempting at.

The Lubuto Library Project has special link with GSPIA and University of Pittsburgh. The president and CEO, Jane Meyer visited University of Pittsburgh last year and gave a talk calling for the efforts to support them at the GSPIA Library. I went the forum last year and I talked with Jane Meyer about her project and future plan. She appealed for students involvement related to their initiative. You can find out Pittsburgh Library is acknowledged as a sponsoring school and institute.

The Lubuto Library Project well serves and is tailored to the need for children's education in local communities in Africa. Most of all, it fits the Purposeful Penny's mission and vision. Furthermore, the reputation and credibility of this project will help the PP develop our action plans with a long term plan. In terms of the accessibility and administrative process for implementing our donation project, the Lubuto Project is most suitable and manageable because we have some contacts which are already established here in Pittsburgh through the channels of the University of Pittsburgh Library. We have some staff members here who are involved in this project and the project has an office in D.C. which will help the communication between the project and the PP's initiative.

Thank you for your time, my dearest PP members!!!

Jonathan
