Project: LIRE FAIT GRANDIR
‘Lire fait grandir’ is a French phrase that translates to: Reading makes you grow.
Reading teaches children about the world around them;
Reading improves vocabulary and language skills;
Reading develops a child’s imagination;
With the above in mind Congo Ensemble’s current project involves the procurement of hundreds of books for children, to be delivered to a selected school in Kinshasa. Along with these books we will also deliver a book shelf, effectively installing a library. The selected school will be in a non-affluent area of Kinshasa as we intend for the project to have the maximum possible impact on the affected community.
After considering many options we have selected École Kamina in commune de Kalamu, Kinshasa.
We plan to deliver 300 books and are currently raising funds towards achieving this objective.
To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. —Victor Hugo
