Received boxes of story books from the Harford County Public Library - Whiteford Branch in Maryland.

Boxes: 9
Books: 669

Thanks to the Harford County local Girls Scouts troop for organizing the book drive at the local middle schools. As I mentioned to Linda, we have a great connection here. The founder of the scout movement, Lord Baden Powell adopted Nyeri Kenya, where the Ihururu Primary School is located as his home. He lived and is buried in Nyeri.

Thank you Linda and Alan.
