Issue: This was a school with relatively good resources. They had more than 400 children and enough teachers. However, they did not own a library. There was however, part of the staff room which stores old books and text books which are shared by students. The existing books were tied up in strings and were yellowish in colour. Students had no interest to read.As there were some students of Chinese descendants, the principal requested Chinese dictionaries and writing books as well.

Books for Hope’s Approach:

• Provided new, colourful children storybooks
• Provided Chinese dictionaries and books
• Provided text books and work books so that more students can have their own text books
