As reported earlier by the Defender, Houston native Alice Otchere made a promise to build a library for the “family village” of Sagyimase (Ghana, West Africa). And just weeks ago, Otchere delivered on that promise.
While on a trip to Ghana, Otchere came upon a community with a school “library” that consisted of a milk crate filled with a few books.
“So, to see a place where the kids didn’t have a library… I was like, ‘A library is what I wanted to do for that area.”
Read more here on the genesis of this fulfilled promise. But for now, let’s celebrate via these on-site photos the commitment to making life better for children as exhibited by Otchere and all those who contributed to this effort.
