Former FAVL volunteer Alison Yue (in Ghana in 2011) organized a fundraising activity in her business writing class. The project had to focus on a non-profit that "we share a special connection with" and Alison wrote that:
this being said, all I could think about was FAVL. This past summer working in Ghana with Jessica was a life changing experience and I have grown immensely by volunteering with your program. My group and I want to work with a program that has significant value to SCU, the students, and faculty. With your permission, our group would like to work with Friends of African Village Libraries as our beneficiary!Today under my door I received $272 from the fundraising dinner at Zeni Ethiopian restaurant in Saratoga. Many thanks to all who participated!!!!!
