Free newspapers appreciated Continued from page 3 learn how to use a computer," said Onufryk. "It's also a place where they can go for fun and enjoyment in an area where there aren't many opportunities." While laying the foundation for this new library in Katesar District was the main focus of Onufryk and Yates' visit, it did not take up all their time with the two women also overseeing the use of Rotary funds to refurbish three Gumpti libraries and open a new one. These mini libraries, of which there are 37 across Varanasi, are essentially sheds equipped with around 200 books each to service areas out of the main library's reach. "They're very well received in the neighbourhoods," said Onufryk. "Each one is supposed to have a newspaper, which is appreciated by the residents because a lot of them actually can't afford a newspaper." For the future, Onufryk would like to see a book mobile program take root in Varanasi to bring programming and books to areas of the city that even the Gumpti libraries do not reach. All of these initiatives did not go unnoticed by the people of Varanasi, who were eager to help the two Oakville women when they conducted public interest surveys about the coming library and eager to participate when the new Gumpti library was opened. "Everywhere we went the women all dressed up in their very best clothes. It was a big deal for them," said Yates. "I was honoured to be a part of this." New Patients Welcome!
