On 5th December 2014, READ International in collaboration with the International School of Tanganyika opened a library at Makumbusho Secondary School in Dar es Salaam. The library has 856 newly purchased books and over 1000 donated books from the UK. An opening ceremony was held on the 5th December 2014 and the guest of honour Faraja Nyalandu, who is also a READ board member, ushered the Makumbuhso students into their new library. The ceremony also had a surprise guest, actor Gabo Zigamba, who spoke some few words to the students about the importance of the library. READ International's work doesn't stop with the library, they will be implementing a literacy program at the school in Februrary 2015 that will encourage the students to read and use the library.
