Kathy Knowles, of Osu Children's Library Fund, introduced our Burkina librarians to wooden puzzles when they visited Accra in November 2005. I just spent a few days visiting some of the libraries, and the kids still seem to not get enough of the puzzles! If you have some nice used wooden puzzles- of forest scenes or animals especially- please do go ahead and send them to Bibliotheques Villageoises de Tuy, B.P. 51, Hounde, Province du Tuy, Burkina Faso. Send us an email too when you mail the puzzles so we can look out for them.
