An Interview with Jolly Good Citizen, Kess Fullington

As some of my readers may already know, Kess Fullington, my cousin, has dedicated herself to a very noble cause, that being literacy in Africa. In an effort to support her, I have included an interview with Kess below. Enjoy!

The African Library Project

Explain what the African Library Project is. The African Library Project is a project where I collect 1000 books and raise $500 dollars in order to create a library for a school in Africa. 

Are you affiliated with any larger organizations? Yes. I am working through a larger organization (the African Library Project). This organization communicates with their partners in Africa to help start and set up these libraries. 

What goals are you pursuing in 2013? My goal for this project is to have 1000 books and $500 (for shipping costs) before March 15th. 

How can we support your cause? You can support this cause by donating money or any books that you don't need anymore. I am looking for levels 4-8th grade. Paperbacks are preferred but all donations will be greatly appreciated! 

Why is this cause important? I believe this cause is important because it provides the children in Africa a chance to learn. Donating these books will help them receive a better education and open the door to new possibilities.
