NORWAY – The 2008 One Book One Community: Making a Difference programs will wrap up at 7 p.m. Monday, March 31, at the Norway Unitarian Universalist Church with a focus on all things African.

The evening will be primarily devoted to the African Library Project and sorting and packing the 1,000 books collected to send to the Mabule Primary School in Botswana. In addition, there will be African music and African foods to taste.

Book and monetary donations may be made for the project during March at library and school locations throughout the Oxford Hills.

For more information, contact the Norway Memorial Library at 743-5309 or visit www.oxfordhillsreads.blogspot.com.

Other highlights of the wrap-up will include presentations and information about two organizations working to make a difference in Africa. CHABHA is focused on health issues around AIDS and children who are orphaned by the disease. Oxford Hills area nurses Hilary Ware and Alison Whitney have traveled to South Africa and Rwanda representing CHABHA and will do the same on March 31.

Janet Littlefield, a teacher at Hebron Academy, started an orphanage in 2003 called the Little Field Home in Chigamba, Malawi, that provides food and housing for 67 children.

She will talk about future plans for the project as well as the upcoming Jump-A-Thon and Walk-A-Thon that will help raise funds to support the activities. For more information and dates, go to www.littlefieldhome.org.
