The Problem

Public libraries in Panama are crucial to the community. In many cases, the only books that people have access to are in the library, where they can access books for free.

Plan of Action

Currently, we're in the process of getting everything started. We have officially established ourselves as an organization named Amigos de La Pintada and have began collecting donations on a small scale, while maintaing contact with our friends in Panama. We're currently investigating the best way to achieve our goals; some sample ideas a the moment are book drives followed by book sales (most books we would collect would be in English) and sending the proceeds to the library, shipping books directly, and sending low power, efficient computers.
