PRESS RELEASE: YPFDJ Atlanta Chapter - Thursday July 16, 2009
On Friday July 10 2009, the Eritrean Community Center of Georgia (ECCGA) in collaboration with YPFDJ/HIDRI of Atlanta, the Asmara Public Library and some dedicated individuals; shipped a container full books, computers and other materials to the Asmara Public Library. The contents of the container were collected through donations from individuals, businesses and area schools (universities). The book drive project started in early 2007 and for that past two and half years, endless amount of resources, dedication and hard work was put forth both in the US and Eritrea into making this project a success.
The involvement of YPFDJ and HIDRI chapters of Atlanta in this project was truly exceptional. Members heavily participated in fundraising events for the book drive, collecting books throughout the past two years and working almost day and night packing books and other materials per the shipping company’s specifications.
The container is scheduled to arrive at Port Massawa, Eritrea in the upcoming few weeks. The Eritrean Community Center of Georgia, YPFDJ/HIDRI of Atlanta and the Asmara Public Library board would like take this opportunity to thank all the organizations, schools and individuals that have contributed to the successful completion of this project.
