So here we are again. Not with the BookBus this time but in Zambia. Already been here two days but still finding it hard to believe.
As I write we are sitting on the verandah of the house where we`re staying, listening to unfamiliar bird song and about to get ourselves some breakfast before we spend another day at the book-face. Or should I say book-mountain.
That`s what 27,000 books looks like and our mission is to make some sort of order out of them for a new community library. Yesterday we worked for about 6 hours, unpacking and sorting and estimate we conquered about a sixth of the mountain. And we`re only here for a fortnight......
Our lift will arrive any minute so time to go and tackle a few more of those boxes......
.......tbc.
