TGS has raised over £800 for Books2Africa this year. Mrs Maloney and Year 12 students visited the charity to learn more about it

Books2Africa is one of our House charities. As Mrs Maloney (our Librarian and House Coordinator) explains, we chose to work with them because “they work locally doing something that we felt was important, and it’s obviously close to my heart as I’m the librarian.”

Our sincere thanks to the TGS community for their generosity; as well as over £800 raised during World Book Day and House charity fundraising, a pallet load of pre-loved books was also donated. 

After a walk around the site to understand how the charity operates, where books go and how they are distributed to the right audience, Mrs Maloney and the students sat down with the Director of Operations, Dr Tonson Sango.  They discussed books, phones and how to fall in love with reading.

Tonson posed a question to them: how can we get people to read when there’s Netflix, video games and a phone in every pocket?  You can read their conversation, plus tips on how to read more, here.
