Last August  Abdi Lidonde and Tom Maher made a presentation on the Beverly School of Kenya at a Rotary Club of Andover breakfast meeting. After hearing the presentation, Scott Morrison, Principal of Bancroft Elementary School wanted to get his students involved.

Working in conjunction with Bill Buck of the Andover Rotary, a January Book Drive was planned. Their goal was to have each student in the school donate one book. Currently, the Book Drive is in its final week, and the Bancroft students have collected over 2000 books and now project a potential target of 3000 books.  These books will be shipped in April so they will arrive in time for the first class at the Beverly School.

Thank you to the Bancroft School students, parents and teachers, and the Rotary Club of Andover for supplying the labels for all of the books!
