BUSONGORA COMMUNITY LAUDS BOOK AID INTERNATIONAL (BAI)

Students reading at BRIC



The People of Busongora County with sincere hearts laud Book International (BAI) in conjunction with Uganda Community Libraries Association (Ug.CLA) and National Libraries of Uganda (NLU) for their great contribution to the transformation of Busongora Community Library.

Because of the books, the small grant and training we got through NLU and Ug.CLA, Busongora Community Library has been transformed into a public access centre attracting hundreds of readers, researchers and ICT students unlike before. 

Children learin how to read at BRIC

The holidaymakers occupy the library 12 hours every day and still request for more time to stay and read. This is due to more attractive books that are available in library and stocking of books that are on syllabus alongside interesting Novels and Literature.







Among the books we received from BAI are science books like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics together with some revision questions on CDs. Other books received are Financial Accounting books, Engineering, geography and Carpentry and Joinery books.

Pupils in a science discussion at BRIC

The performance of all the students and pupils that use this library is automatically expected improve. This is observed from the seriousness and determination the students and pupils are exhibiting in their discussion groups and self reading/revision.

The results of pupils have already started improving, this is evidenced from end of second term exams, some pupils whom I managed to have a look at their terminal reports got positions like 2nd ,3rd ,4th,5th 6th and I am sure that even those I did not look at the reports got good results. All this, has been a result of establishing a community library in the area.
