In Tirana, Albania MRI funded a resource lending library for the ministry of Sylvain and Ruth Vergnon, who minister to street kids and families who live in the city dump area.

The Speed Stax company donated many sets of "stacking cups" to MRI, and some were given by MRI to the Albanian lending library. Here some teachers have fun competing with each other.
