"Thank you to the Thank U Organisation and to all the supporters of children and their thirst for nurture and education. I am pleased, beyond the telling of I, by the countries of Ghana, South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago. The decision to name the children's libraries in my honour, delights and humbles me. I am grateful."

We are grateful for any donations you make to the Maya Angelou Libraries.

THE PROJECT

ThankU The objective of the Milestone Library Project is to establish a productive living monument in "2008, the Year of Reading", that combines the evening of the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade with the world renown literary icon, Dr Angelou's legacy of nurture, education and motivation, to help children lift themselves out of poverty through reading.

The buildings will be ecologically sound and sustainable, using low cost local materials and powered by solar energy. The design of a nature reserve on the grounds of the buildings, will help the children to learn about looking after their environment, whilst learning to read.
