Opening of the library
The realization of its first library project will allow the association to gain momentum for the continuation of its actions.
Opening on March 23, 2018 a historic date!
The local team did not spare its efforts to successfully open the library. March 23, 2018 is an historic date because the collaboration of two teams in France and Madagascar permit to open a library for children in the school Paul Minault.
Room layout by local active members and school
The layout of the room required the collaboration of all active local members. The doors were secured, the curtains were installed on all windows to beautify the room. The new furniture has been ergonomically installed to facilitate the use of the room by the children. The children helped decorate the room with drawings.
Donation of 8 library furniture, 200 books and 100 toys!
Books and toys have been prepared and inventoried for ease of use and monitoring. They were arranged in furniture adapted to the sizes of the children. Children can help themselves. Play spaces have been created for small children. Play mats and mats were installed on the ground to put the little ones at ease.
We warmly thank the management of Paul Minault School for providing us with a large room to create our project and the collaboration of primary school teachers to assess their needs and ensure the operation of the library.
Library activities
The association will participate in the animation of the life of the library. Its local members will come weekly to follow the activity book and to design programs such as reading rally, dictation contest etc. This support will also facilitate the identification of needs for the proper use of the library.
Renewal of the library
The association will help to renew the library fund by bringing in new books and toys every year. Members in France will do what is necessary to search for donations of books and toys. The development of the network is privileged to multiply the possible partnerships (media library of towns in France, the town hall etc).
"The most beautiful gift for us, is the smile of a happy child."
The smile on the lips of children!
The opening of this library is a first step for children in the primary and kindergarten class. The children jumped for joy as they discovered their new world of reading and games. This new space will motivate them to discover and to love reading.
Thanks!
We warmly thank the management of Paul Minault School for providing us with a large room to create our project and the collaboration of primary school teachers to assess their needs and ensure the operation of the library.
In addition, we would like to thank our generous donors for their support and for carrying out our library project.
And lastly, we thank the active local members who always respond to every request for the progress of the project! A round of applause to the whole team.
Birth of the library project n°1
Our team in Madagascar has identified a school that wishes to work with our association. This school would like to create a library for children and a space for animations. The Paul Minault school has made available to us a large room of about 60 square meters to be fitted out for this project.
Storage for the books
We ordered two pieces of pine furniture to store the books adapted to the size of the children. They were delivered on January 16, 2018.
Children's Cushions, Chairs and Tables.
The other furniture was delivered in March 2018 to the association's headquarters based in Analamahitsy.
Preparation, inventory and registration of books and toys
After this phase, the opening of the library is imminent.
