Everyone is enjoying books at the new library
New and used books were given to Kanyenyeva Ministries to start a library at the orphan project.
A mission team from Ohio presented the books to the leadership of the orphan project. 
The mission team stated, “The focus of this mission was on literacy. High School students in Malawi must take national exams in English, but their native tongue is Chichewa. They literally have almost no books to read in order to increase their fluency. We were thrilled to start a library in Kanyenyeva with 230 books and more to come!”
Books were read to the children and they were able to look at them independently, also.
Everyone enjoyed the books, even the adults!

Malawi is an extremely poor country of 15 million people. There are at least 1 million orphans in Malawi due primarily to HIV/AIDS and malaria. The physical growth of at least 50% of the children under the age of 5 has been stunted because of chronic malnutrition. It is estimated that 55% to 74% of its population live in extreme poverty. This is why Liwiro la Malawi (We run for Malawi).
