We're positively thrilled to report that our favorite charity, Room to Read, has successfully built a library at a school in Nepal.

Shree Kisani Primary School is located in a village called Arman, located in central Nepal. Most of its students are very poor, and although parents and teachers saw an urgent need for a library the local school administration lacked the resources to build one.
