BOOK HEAVEN FOR CHILDREN

Are you one of those people who want to help others but don’t know how?....time to get off your seats then. How would you like to help some little boys and girls to build their own library? By doing some very simple things you can help bring a dream to reality for the children of DONBOSCO SNEHA BHAVAN, a home for children rescued from the streets.

The DONBOSCO volunteers run many institutions across kerala and especially kochi for the welfare of children rescued from child labour, beggary etc. their dream is to build a library exclusively for the children of kochi, particularly the suburban area which has no reading facility for children. The library, once open, will be a one of its kind facility, providing children an opportunity to interact with each other and to discover the land of books and learning. Each of can become a part of this dream project, nicknamed ‘book heaven’. Let’s tell you how, all of you must still have most of the books you read as children, just donate them to the library. You can also give away appropriate books , magazines etc which you’ve finished reading. Simple enough right?...

It’s understandable if you’re reluctant to let go of your favourite books from childhood, but just imagine how those books can light up the faces of a whole new generation. These children have a dream which we can help fulfill. Let’s help. If you don’t have books to give away, you can even donate children’s magazines in both English and Malayalam (yes, balarama, kalikudukka etc are fine!) there are other ways to get involved too. You can help the library by volunteering. As volunteers you can help the children arrange the books and also inspire them to read by organizing small book readings. If your family or friends have book collections lying around, or if they can be persuaded to help in any other way, let them know about this little project. Spread the word in the campus, organize a book collection drive and visit snehabhavan with your college mates…. Come on people, show them what we, the youth can do.
