Books for Congo (Shannon O'Rourke Kasali) - Democratic Republic of the Congo

Children and youth in the Eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo grow up with limited access to books. Universities have limited amounts of books available to their students. Public schools also have limited books and many children and youth miss out on the opportunity to increase their knowledge and explore their world through reading. Someone once told me that it is easier to buy a helicopter than a book here. Bila Elimu Akuna Amani (Without education, there is no peace) -
