VOLUNTEERS BUILDING LIBRARIES

Melanie Mayer (20) and Marlen Sartorius (20) are German volunteers with African Field Services (AFS). They are working at two Eastern Cape schools - Melanie at Hoërskool Cowan and Marlen at Laerskool David Vuku. The two women are helping to upgrade the schools' libraries. They've approached businesses in Port Elizabeth and Germany for sponsorships. When they return to Germany in September, they hope to leave behind fully-stocked school libraries.
