From page 3 The actual library itself will be built on Maama Watali property in Luweero, Uganda. Material costs are expected to be $1500 while the solar electrical system will cost $2500. The actual construction will be done by members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville along with members of the Rotary club of Makindye and Luweero community members. Transportation of the books from Stittsville to Uganda is expected to cost
$8,000. Once in Uganda, the Rotary Club of Makindye (Kampala) will look after getting the books to Luweero. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville would be most appreciative of any financial contributions made to this project. In addition, the donation of books is encouraged. However, no magazines will be accepted and picture books must be in new condition only. Any encyclopedias must be recent ones. In addition, the Rotary
Club hopes to ship some used soccer equipment to Uganda when the books are shipped there. The West Ottawa Soccer Association is working with the Rotary Club to collect used equipment at the end of this season so that it can be shipped to Uganda. For more information about the project or to make a donation of funds or books, please contact Brad Spriggs of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at 613-836-1637 or via email at spriggsbrad@hotmail.com.
