Janapriya School Community Library-Tapting Solnasa





































Hey Again,








Sorry for the confusion! But as many of you know.....when it comes to the "tech stuff'...I am not yet up to speed.








I am going to just put these pictures up here in no particular order...because...it has taken my friend and i quite awhile to get it this far!








so...a brief description....The building you see is the completed library! Last time all that was there was the foundation. We unpacked the books and placed them on the new shelves!








When we got done ...the entire school and many of the local dignitaries from the region held a wonderful ceremony in our honor!








Amber and I were somewhat embarrassed by all the showering of ceremony for us...but it was a very special time for the village and the region!








Amber and i were asked to speak and afterwards we were presented with Khatta scarves and our heads were annointed with "Abir" ....the red powder...which is used to show honor and respect.








It was a very emotional time not only for Amber,myself and our entire crew...but for all present!








I hope you enjoy these pictures......I will post more in the near future....and save some for future slide/lectures to raise funds to help continue our ongoing efforts in this and other areas!








My best to all!








Tillie
