"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."

-- Maya Angelou

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

The Website is Ready!

Posted on 28 July 2008
Tags: Website

We’ve used Wordpress, made modifications to an Adii template, added some useful plugins (I really like WP-Sticky), included the payment processing pages, added the content and now it’s ready. Ready for all the main players to talk about the Maya Angelou Libraries project, how it’s progressing, what issues they’re facing and how everyone can chip in.

Of course it’s not all done on the web front. As well as maintenance and updates (Wordpress 2.6 is available! Please notify the site administrator) we’ll be needing to promote the site online to get as much attention to the project as we can.

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.
