Our books arrived from the containers in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday 6th, a lot earlier than expected. Unfortunately I was ill that day and so didn't get to help unload the truck into the ICT room with the school children and other volunteers :( But we have so many books! 75 boxes of about 30 books in each. We have 5 boxes of
mixed fiction and plays but the majorities are science and maths.
We have to stamp the inside cover of every donated book, as well as sorting
them into subject type. As we only had two READ stamps this took a long time;
large chunks of Tue – Fri were taken up by 2 people at any time stamping.
On Friday the group and I sorted all of the books into subjects, stacking all the same books together as best as we could. It’s my job to create a spreadsheet list of every book that is going into the library next week, and I need to do it as quick as possible! Thankfully I have help from my deputy and the rest of the team, although I’m pretty sure week 2 will be a busy one.
Me in full stamping swing.
Glad you bought those trousers,,very African !! Well done, so far. xx
