Students at the Reading Center

The Dream Has Come True!

Starting in February 2010, Medical Camps were held in the Library. The space was transformed from a place to read books to a place to receive dental, eye and medical care, to receive reading and prescription glasses, to be tested for HIV/Aids, glucose, and malaria, and to receive prescribed medications.  

In March, 2014,  Lynn traveled by herself to Kenya, and she found how the Reading Centre is being used when we AREN'T there having a Medical Camp taking over the Reading Centre. The pictures below show students from a nearby school, brought by their teacher to do homework and study. The students  were there for over an hour and never made a sound! They were taking their studies seriously and it was awesome to see!

Different classes come on different days and times.  When Lynn spoke to one of the teachers he told her how wonderful a resource this place is for the community. 

What a rare and exciting treat to see the students in the Amani Reading Centre!
