Establish modern Library
Therefore, the Roman poet Cicero said..."if you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need". That garden, we are blessed to have at Mukosi...an area of breathtakingly outstanding national beauty.Indeed, establish a Library we have begun. That Library, like a vaccine injected to ward off the epidemic of ignorance, is our prime focus. A good Library is the inspirational channel to promote amazement at the beauty and complexity of our planet. Indeed it has the power to blow a child's mind off the planet and explore the stars.
On our drawing board we are designing a statement structure with the architectural layout that underlines Mukosi School's disposition to ecology. This Library is being designed to reflect the school's empathy with the environment. Architecturally the building itself will be traditional and vernacular yet modern and futuristic in its conception of harnessing African culture and future trends. There will be a strong emphasis on sourcing local materials. There will be an ICT Centre adjoining the Library.
One of our Partners, Ndirimo Trust, has donated 1,000 books. Our Mukosi Friends in Cambridge, UK enabled their transportation from South Africa to Mukosi School. Even without an existing infrastructure to house the books, we are determined to create a unique Library at Mukosi School. Read more about the beginning of our library project.
Our community of volunteers in Cambridge (UK) has also managed to secure thousands of books (now in a storage facility) and is looking for help with shipping to the school in Zimbabwe. If you can assist us with getting the books shipped, please reach out to mukosischool@gmail.com
Note: Mukosi School Library will work in synergy with the government's Geographical Information Systems (Zimbabwe GIS) and the Zimbabwe National Geo-Spatial and Space Agency (ZINGSA). These government agencies are tasked to provide vital information on environment and climate variations.
