Dear Family and Friends,

Ten years ago, Fidel Bafilemba and I had a vision: to create a children’s library and digital learning center in one of the most impoverished regions of the world. Today, thanks to your support, the Lumumba Children’s Library and Learning Center (LCL) in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is a reality!

But our journey isn’t over. We need your help to Raise the Roof! We still need $60,000 to install the 5,000 square foot Big Red Roof and its metal superstructure. Once completed, we’ll qualify for a $100,000 grant from Rotary International for solar power and internet connectivity, which will transform the center into a hub of opportunity for the children in our community.

The LCL is not just a building; it’s a place where children can enhance their traditional education with critical thinking skills. We’ll offer a technology center, a lending library, literacy and English language programs, a learning garden, and so much more. We’ve already begun holding educational programs and community events, and the impact is already being felt.

Every contribution, whether it’s $10 or $10,000, brings us closer to our goal, and every dollar is deeply appreciated.

Please visit www.congolibrary.org to make a tax-deductible donation and help us continue this vital mission.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

Warm regards,

Paul Freedman, Fidel Bafilemba and the entire LCL team

Coming Soon!
