I graduated from Denison in '75 and did my Junior Year Abroad in Sierra Leone, an experience that forever changed me. Thirty years later I started a nonprofit that starts small libraries in sub-Saharan Africa. We've created a system where any American can start a library in Africa by collecting 1000 gently-used children's books and raising $500 to help ship them. The African Library Project now starts about 150 libraries a year and has started 727 since our beginning in 2005. Kayla, you never know where your passion for the Home of Hope will lead you... I sure didn't. Love this story about Kayla returning to the same village in Zim where she had created bonds before.

Great sacrificial work Kayla to give of yourself to these children!

Kayla is my niece and I think she inherited a bit of my wanderlust and compassion to do good for others and make a difference in the world. I'm very proud of what she has done in Zimbabwe.

Kudos to you for your good soul! Dee just got the Davis Peace and he's going to create an education center and it's so awesome that people are making use of their old childhood things rather than just keeping it on a shelf unused. Your lil bro has an amazing smile :) This is amazing Kayla! Kudos to you for your good soul!
