Library In A Week

After building one of the largest youth empowerment annual events in Canada, it is now our mission to illuminate the far corners of the planet with the brilliance of knowledge; one library at a time. To give those that are left behind the tools to succeed and the power to dream. Connecting with my passion has been one of the best life decisions for me and you can read the full story at The mission of ‘Library in a Week’ project is to make 100 libraries around the world in a way that drives real sustainable change - our project brings together the community to build the library rather than rely solely on external organizations. Our method is agile, cost effective and has a real impact! Our founder went to Nepal this summer to write my book on a very different topic – the transformation of his 17 career from a technology executive to someone committed to youth empowerment. In an exciting series of events, he connected with his purpose and built two libraries. The libraries were completed in 4 days each in Katmandu, Nepal and Tal, Nepal. Tal in particular was a major undertaking as this remote village of 200 is deep in the Himalayas, only accessible by 5 days of walk or a treacherous 7 hours jeep ride from the nearest road.
