SUPPORT THE CAUSE
Library of Hope Project
An idea that started from his first book read in high school turned into a hope to one day be able to create a library in the town of Afikpo, Nigeria.
With the power of a community in Rochester, New York, 6,000 books collected over a period of 6 years now line the shelves of a beautiful community library.
The hope of creating a library and sharing the power of education with the future leaders of the area has been successfully fulfilled.

Here at CBF, we work to uplift the young people of Afikpo through education. The future leaders of the community need critical support today.
FAMOUS LITERARY QUOTES
“Once you allow yourself to identify with the people in a story, then you might begin to see yourself in that story even if on the surface it's far removed from your situation. This is what I try to tell me students: this is one great thing that literature can do - it can make us identify with situations and people far away.”
— Chinua Achebe
