DONATION

INITIATIVE

The Book Donation Initiative is a student run school club aimed at collecting and recycling pre-loved story books only to spread the joy of reading in less privileged communities. The collections are used for replenishing existing libraries and sold during ‘Used Book Sales’ in school to raise funds for new libraries and school charities.
