Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Karnataka, India, lies Kamasamudram village, where the Government Kannada Model Higher Primary School hums with the vibrant energy of young minds. With 465 students, from LKG/UKG to 8th grade, the school is a beacon of inclusivity and quality education. Dedicated teachers, bilingual instruction (Kannada and English), and OSAAT's ODiSI digital program empower each child to reach their full potential.

But one crucial piece was missing: a dedicated haven for literacy, a launchpad for imagination, and a sanctuary for curious minds.

While the school had a library, it shared space with another classroom, limiting its capacity to truly transform. The weekly library period, offered only to students in classes 5 and above, left younger children yearning for more. And while a nearby public library existed, accessibility and convenience proved challenging.

Library Project

This is where Maryam Library Foundation and OSAAT join hands with the school, their hearts brimming with a shared vision. Together, they're weaving a new narrative for Kamasamudram's children, one where stories whisper secrets and knowledge ignites dreams.

The new library won't simply be shelves filled with books; it will be:

• A literary wonderland: A treasure trove of stories in Kannada and English, catering to every age, interest, and cultural background. From fantastical adventures to historical voyages, children will embark on journeys beyond textbooks, shaping their dreams, nurturing their imaginations, and discovering the beauty of their own heritage.

• A learning sanctuary: Equipped with reference materials, educational resources, and technology, the library will become an extension of the classroom, fostering a love for learning that transcends limitations.

• A haven for collaboration: A space where young minds can meet, share ideas, and collaborate on projects, transforming the library into a vibrant hub of creativity and innovation.

• A gateway to passions: Budding scientists, aspiring artists, and future leaders will find a kaleidoscope of knowledge waiting to be explored, igniting their unique passions and talents.

The Kamasamudram library project is more than bricks and mortar; it's an investment in the future, one story at a time. It's about believing in the boundless potential of every child, empowering them with the wings to dream, the roots to ground themselves, and the confidence to believe that anything is possible.

We are deeply grateful to the Government Kannada Model Higher Primary School in Kamasamudram for their unwavering belief in this dream. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our supporters, whose generosity fuels our mission.
