FAVL Intro for Chen Proposal
FAVL started with one small library in Burkina Faso and has since partnered with communities across Africa and supporters worldwide to help libraries grow. FAVL aims to develop a culture of reading by encouraging people to read for pleasure as well as purpose. FAVL trains and supports local librarians who serve their own communities and look for ways to improve local libraries by adding new books to attract, motivate, and satisfy readers of all types, including through popular summer reading camps that help children's reading, writing, and public speaking skills.

However, terrorism has led to the closure of 5 libraries in Burkina Faso and displacement of residents. FAVL continues its work of supporting existing libraries and establishing new ones to promote literacy, education, and community.

The White Rabbit
Hanna and Kofi were too young to go on a hunt for the magical white rabbit that could grant a wish, but were allowed to go along if they watched the horses. While watching the horses, they spotted the white rabbit and worked together to trap it, forgetting about their task to watch the horses. When the hunters returned, Hanna and Kofi proudly announced they caught the rabbit, but then realized they had failed to watch the horses as asked. They wished they had never caught the rabbit.

Kevane - Gold mining and economic change in West Africa
1. Gold mining has had a complex and fluid relationship with social institutions in West Africa over centuries. While gold revenues may have encouraged state formation, it also created incentives for rent-seeking and conflict that undermined states.
2. Gold extraction required social organization but also led to new identities and social institutions as interpersonal relationships changed with participation in mining.
3. Estimates of gold production in medieval West Africa are unreliable but regional mines like Bambouk and Bouré supplied around 1 ton of gold annually exported across the Sahara during that period, making gold a major export.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Editor's Notes
- Upsides- quality over quantity Because intensive, respond to needs villages and readers… e.g. what kinds of books? At first shipped books from U.S. but villagers want African novels not Jane Austen Very few books in local languages Brought us to partner with Kathy Knowles of Osu Children’s Library fund to make available low cost books for children in local languages Micro publishing Because intensive, we do outreach- where parents don’t know how to read or have a library culture, very important Also do training and capacity building- keeping accounts, budgets reports
