I've been to this project in Cameroon and it is amazing what they have accomplished in just 3 years! The library draws about a hundred people to the center every day (it's one of the largest libraries in the country). Parents drop off their kids at the children's reading group and then go over to the Total Health Center to receive a health consultation -- that's what an integrated community center is all about!
