快猫视频 Hosts Rwandan Ambassador at Annual Luncheon 2024: 鈥淎 Book For Every Child鈥�
快猫视频 welcomed Rwandan Ambassador Mathilde Mukantabana, as well as supporters from around the world, on May 10th at its Annual Luncheon in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The theme, 鈥淎 Book For Every Child,鈥� highlighted 快猫视频鈥檚 dedication in sending over 60 million books to date to the African continent, with upcoming shipments planned to Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia.
Over 350 guests were in attendance to hear Her Excellency鈥檚 keynote address, which highlighted the value of donated books:
鈥淵ou can鈥檛 buy a book when you are still trying to purchase the food to put on the table鈥� So to find a book is something that is almost like finding gold.鈥�
The event was an occasion for giving, and 快猫视频鈥檚 supporters rose to the occasion, donating over $170,000 in cash, sponsorships, and pledges, which will go to fund the shipment of tens of thousands of books to Africa. 快猫视频 is pleased to be sending a shipment to Rwanda next month in honor of Ambassador Mukantabana, funded by partner and sponsor Thomson Reuters. Other containers funded at the event will be sent聽to Kenya, Tanzania, and other African countries.
Other speakers included container captain Kim Harms, Executive Director Patrick Plonski, founder Tom Warth, John Elstad, and Thomson Reuters Vice President of Global Print Manufacturing & Distribution Steve Zweber.
