Hi!  My name is Mary Grace Coffman.  I live on Signal Mountain.  I am 8 years old.  I go to school at Nolan Elementary and I just finished the 3rd grade.  I would like you to please donate books for a library at a school in Nigeria!!!!

I got interested in doing this because I couldn’t believe that a school didn’t have a library.  I told my daddy, “That it isn’t a school without a library.”  Chi’s School has 300 children and no library.

I want to tell you about my friend Dr. Chi Ekwenye.  She has a lot of courage.  Chi is from Nigeria.  She went to the USA for college (all by herself).  She got her PhD at the University of Georgia and then she went back to Nigeria.  Chi put together an orphanage, a school, a clinic, and a place that moms that have been abused by their husbands can go.
