Cheyanne, the daughter of my friend and former DU Bookstore colleague Valarie, is a Peace Corps volunteer in Mozambique, and reports on her Blog that they have opened a children's library in the nearby town of Homoine. The grand opening was on Mozambican Independence Day, with a ribbon cutting and champagne toast by the mayor. The project was the work of Cheyanne's roommate Theresa (in the photograph above on the left), with lots of help from Cheyanne (on the right). All of the books are in Portuguese, so I think I will skip getting a card. In any case, the library was a big hit with everyone, especially the children who will be using it. Check out all the details of the ceremony (it doesn't sound like it was easy to arrange) on Cheyanne's Blog ( www.timeinmozambique.blogspot.com.)
