Libraries

We set up bi-lingual Libraries for children aged 3 up to 18 years old in remote and poor villages. Often, when a village head hears of Books for Hope Library program, they are exhilarated. He spreads the word around, and the children become excited. This is because, even though in some villages where a primary school exists, books are insufficient. Due to the low income level of their parents, the children did not have the opportunity to enjoy any recreational books. Having a village Library filled with colorful charts, hundreds of wonderful books, games, puzzles and world maps have unleashed the dreams of many children, teachers and parents.

Weekend Enrichment Workshop (WEW)

Books for Hope conducts Weekend Enrichment Workshops (WEW) in our Libraries. WEWs are conducted on weekends by Teacher Volunteers. These volunteers come from all over the country – they often are already teachers, or undergraduates from local universities who would like to do some community services. Volunteers are given a training session by our team and Chief Program Development Officer on advanced teaching methods and a briefing of own Books for Hope Workshop Series.

Our Workshop Series uses a Thematic Approach through story-telling, drawing, coloring, reading, singing, writing and interactive fun and games.

Child -4-Child Program

Child-4- Child Program is a program conducted by Books for Hope in partnership with local schools in the cities. This program aims to encourage more fortunate children to donate at least 4 books each to their less fortunate peers. Involving schools, parents and children, Child-4-Child is a collective effort created by the ‘haves’ for the ‘have not’s. It also helps fortunate children to start humanitarian efforts at a young age!

University Book Drive

Universities are a good source for good books. Better abled students are encouraged to donate their old books (school books, story books) to their less fortunate peers living in rural areas.

In return, the Books for Hope team will present to these undergraduates about our projects and draw the link between their contribution and the impact experienced in rural villages. Students are made more aware of their social surroundings from these presentations, leading to a more wholesome education and overall learning development.Some students also volunteered to be our Teacher Volunteers and join us in our field trips.

We look for teacher champions who will partner us in this meaningful way.
