Description: In a world that is so interdependent it is important to not only be a good citizen in one\\\'s own country, but also in a global sense. Being a world citizen means volunteering in your country, internationally or online. It means educating yourself about what is happening globally. It means learning about other cultures, places and things. It means respecting and being patient with each other\\\'s differences and it means being a good person to your friends, family, neighbours and other world citizens.

Description: Food can contain many harmful ingredients that we would not expect to find. These could be a result of chemical fertilizers used on fruits and vegetables, or artificial hormones or antibiotics given to animals. Organic foods try avoid these harmful additives and produce food naturally which is less harmful for the environment as well as individuals .
Also, the chemicals used in traditional agricultural methods can be extremely devastating to the environment and to human health. Agrochemicals degrade the land, pollute water and cause nitrogen pollution which eventually kills all living organisms in an aquatic environment. Not to mention that agrochemicals inadvertently end up in human drinking water supplies, and have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and low academic performance among other things.
By buying more organic food, we will lessen the demand for products grown in the traditional chemical intensive manner. By doing so, we will reduce the amount of chemicals entering our bodies and the ecosystem.

Goals: Although the four weeks of volunteer construction work is over, the library still needs financial support. There has been a huge change in the prices of materials in Tanzania, and these costs continue to only grow bigger as time is passing. We have doors and wiring installed, the roof as well. The walls are plastered, but we still need windows. After the windows are installed we can begin to work on details inside the library, like;
- Book Shelves
- Tables/Chairs/Couch/Desk
- Computers
- Lighting
