ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½

ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ hosted in Minnesota last week H.E. Constance’s Gaspar, Ambassador from ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½n Union to the U.S., and H.E. Agostinho Van-Dunem, Ambassador from Angola to the U.S.  Both spoke at our annual fundraiser.  We were pleased to have them update our ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ community about issues and trends in Angola, and across the ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½n continent.  We look forward to continued collaboration in the future with these ambassadors to ship more books to Angola, and across ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½. We raised over $191,000 to ship more books to ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½. Thank you to all of our donors who helped to make this happen!

For many communities across ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½, books are the primary engine for educational growth. ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ Board President Fatima Lawson writes an editorial published by Minnpost in honor of Black History Month.
