Deb McNally (Senchi Ferry Library, Ghana)

A three-time volunteer, Deb McNally has always acknowledged the importance of education in every community. While on her service program in Ghana, she spoke with different students and community members and saw the need and an interest in having a community library. Since 2007, Deb has been working on raising funds to build a library for this community. Since then, along with Senchi Ferry community members, Global Volunteers has been making great progress on building the Senchi Ferry Library. Deb worked relentlessly and recently surpassed her fundraising goal! In addition to working on raising the funds for this project, Deb is also finding creative ways to partner with other organizations in order to purchase and deliver books to the community Funds not spent on the construction of the building will be used to purchase library furniture as well as books.
