The library for A.V. Bukani is on its way! Aboard the MSC Levina (shown at right), the container of books and shelving is scheduled to arrive in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on July 13. Yes, this is after all the World Cup excitement.
Larry, Eileen and Sara will be returning this August. We'll be joined by Sara's husband Alex and her good friend and children's literature specialist Cecily Kaiser.

Eileen and Larry Kugler volunteer in A.V. Bukani Primary School in rural South Africa to improve literacy through professional development for the teachers and family engagement programs. Their daughter Sara has joined them on several trips. In 2010 they created a school library of 23,000 books which impacts the entire community. They returned in 2019 for their 6th trip. Contributions through the Kugler Education Fund at South Africa Partners support this wonderful school and community.
