Crowdfunding the first public btc library in a region hit by devastating floods

[tarmi]

The idea is to rebuild new public library in a region that two weeks ago was hit by devastating floods and raise awareness about bitcoin in this region, especially among the young. The library is located in Bosnia, Doboj. Doboj is a city in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina, country which was devastated by a civil war in the nineties.

The floods that happened two weeks ago have destroyed local economy, cultural and educational institutions and city infrastructure, not to mention residential areas.

The library lost all of its book collection, furniture, computers. Most of the users of the library were children of the age from 14 to 18 years. There are more than 300 members of the library and they don’t pay any membership. Library is open 5 days a week and have one employee who is financed by the local public gymnasium.

Needless to say that there are not enough funds in the local budget. Reasons are many, one of them incompetent and corrupted local government. Because of that we will bypass government agencies and do everything by ourselves.

I will leave if needed contact of the person in charge of the library. She is desperate in finding some funds and persons that are willing to help. She is editor in chief of a local newspaper for high school students, and she is willing to promote bitcoin with a series of articles.

I will control the funding address. I already did some similar projects in this region with success, but this time I need help from international community.


Thank you for your attention.

As a Bosnian, I'd like to urge everyone to donate, floods were devastated on whole Balkan and Doboj was one of the most hit cities, the water was few meters high in some areas, it came so fast many people couldn't hide and got killed.

so far we collected 0.13 btc, which is not bad. I suppose we could buy a couple of books with that.
