Our new library trainer will support, the Eastern Cape province school libraries provided by MERF.
We welcome Ntombifuthi Gladness Phakathi known also as Futhie.
She is the full time librarian for Ithongasi FSS a school of excellence, in KwaZulu-Natal.

Futhie will be a valuable asset for our libraries and their sustainability to inspire literacy and learning through reading, to elevate poverty in these rural villages.
We are excited about our future and MERF impact on education in rural regions of the world.

As we are prepping for this years trip, we cant help but reflect on the impact that we have been able to have over the past 10 years.
