As members of Afconet in Dar es Salaam will know, Steven Millambo of Youth Life Relief Foundation proposed an exciting idea early in 2008 for a network of 'microlibraries', in which each of the approximately 30 organizations in the network would have a shelf of books that could be useful to schoolchildren they are working with.
On 24 May 2008, our foundation authorized a payment of 3,405,000 Tanzanian shillings for this project. Accounts received from Shabani Madega, the treasurer of the network, show that this money was paid on 4 June 2008 by cheque number 193093 to Youth Life Relief Foundation, and that the cheque was given to Steven Millambo.
On 18 December 2008, Hatibu Kunga, chair of Youth Life Relief Foundation, sent an email saying:
This seems to suggest that the money for the library project was not, in fact, received by YLRF.
We would like to have this clarified by the network officers, Jacka Mwambi, Shabani Madega, and Steven Millambo.
Postscript: on 23 December 2008, Hatibu Kunga sent the following email:
