(9 October 2014) READ Nepal reports that nearly two thousand Nepalis came together in the historic village of Panauti this past August, walking through rain-flooded streets lined with flower-filled copper vessels, passing oil lamps laid ready with their wicks, and children in traditional Newari dress. They were there to celebrate their pride and passion for something that had never been done before: a community library had been opened in their village – the first to be entirely funded by local Nepalis.
The illustrated story is on the READ Global website.
