The news has been confirmed by First Steps Himalaya’s founder and director Fionna Heiton that the Yusef Abubaker Memorial Library – built as part of the Sangachok Early Childhood Development Centre – is still standing but has unfortunately suffered severe structural damage and will therefore have to be rebuilt.
Fundraising for the rebuild will commence immediately, any donations will be greatly appreciated.
As unfortunate as this news is, the library was having a huge positive impact on the children and adults in the community and will definitely be worth the work to fundraise and rebuild so it can go on to help more people.
