Preschool and Primary 1 shelf.
This bright attractive shelf greets the little ones as they come in the door. The books are books they can take from the shelves and set on the mat and enjoy. It is great to have books and nobody keeps saying 'don’t tear the pages!' They will learn this in time. Our books are in Kinyarwanda and English.
On our wall a map of the world. Luki is showing you were we live. My, how that boy has grown.
The Bible & religions of the world section is for children and adults. Even though Christmas is over, Claude and Luki found a new book about Christmas they had not seen before. It was a two part play and the boys think it would be a good play for next year and on our new stage. They never cease to surprise me and please me very much.
Luki introduces the library to Amie, his good friend from the community. Amie and others spend a lot of time playing with Urukundo kids.
Trying to get a better picture we tried to cover the window with a sheet. It did not work well. Ok so I am not the best photographer. The Head teacher Irene is trying to help. He is a bit taller than me.
The books on the first shelf include geography, science books and books about animals. Not to be confused with story books with animal characters. Books on the shelf below the globe are adult books left here by visitors and chapter books for kids in P3 and above. These shelves have two sides.
Not sure what happened to my camera but the art room sure looks sad. It really is a bright, beautiful room with a sink for washing up after making a creative mess!
