Marquette Native Promotes ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½

The exotic smells of chicken cooked Gambian style, North ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½n lamb and date stew filled the community room at Peter White Public Library Friday evening.

People were there to taste the ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½n dishes and then listen to Marquette native Carole Patrikakos, 30, who now lives in Minneapolis, speak about her work with the organization "ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½."

We're constantly fundraising to get books to ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ where they're needed the most," she said, adding that those areas are often in countries devastated by civil wars.
