The Library at MITS - Kamulu

We love our library.  We now have 2,868 books.  In the recent container sent from Tennessee we received 573 reading books for the kids, 501 Bible books, a box of board books for babies and some of the National Geographics that we did not have.  Thanks to a Bible professor at David Lipscomb, to the Otter Creek Church library, to someone in Irving, Texas, for the NGs, and to those kind people from Otter Creek who collected and boxed the books at Healing Hands!  Darlene and visitors from Pepperdine have categorized and taped books and typed titles into a computer file.  
The library is going to be of great help as we are upgrading our literacy training and our Bible, business and computer offerings.  In addition to the 13 "fast track" students who are preparing themselves for the 8th Grade Exit Exam in December, we are beginning a new class called 4.30 in which we will give our skills students (34 of them beginning June 1) additional knowledge in Bible (especially morality in the marketplace, but also in regard to marriage and friendships), Business (getting a job, keeping a job, starting a business, relationships on the job) and Computers (personal accounting, accounting for a small business, using the internet wisely and efficiently and advanced English studies).  That's a long sentence; hope you can make it out.
