Angelique and Odila


pascalinebeza Pascaline Beza, Age 13 My favourite book is called Breaking the Silence, I’ve read it five times! It’s about HIV/AIDS. The library has helped me learn how I can protect myself from getting HIV/AIDS and other diseases.
angelique Angelique Niyonkuru, Age 12 The library is full of interesting stories and there are even dictionaries for difficult words. I get to learn many stories that I didn’t know before the library was built. Reading makes me feel happy, and when I tell other people the new stories, they can feel happy too.

John Bosco Nshimiyimana, Age 24 Before the library opened I had not read any books besides textbooks. We don’t have any books at home. Reading helps me to not make mistakes in my writing. It helps me understand the world around me, especially geography. I’m very happy with the library, it increases my knowledge.
