World’s Children has provided recreational reading books, encyclopedias and bookshelves to 35 orphanages and one school, bringing the joy of reading to over 2,745 children.
In this project update we want to share a thank you note from one of the children and one from an orphanage-school administrator so you can see two perspectives. Both letters highlight the benefits of the It Just Takes a Spark Library Project that provides recreational reading books for fun and reference books for knowledge.
Dear Donors,
I’m very happy about having a library. We are enjoying reading the books. They have nice stories that are interesting. We are reading the books every day. I like stories. Thank you for giving us the library. —Soumya, orphan in India orphanage supported by World's Children
Our Dear Library Donors,
We are extremely grateful to you for funding the Library project for the benefit of the students, residing in our orphanage, which we are running to cater to the educational need of backward, tribal, downtrodden, semi orphan and rural children with the aim of providing a home, where they can get a good education.
Now they have a new school syllabus with project work for each subject, that requires a lot of reference work. Hence the Library project you have funded is of a very great timely help. With the funds you have contributed, we have purchased three book shelves and 210 books of different categories like: general knowledge, encyclopedias, short stories, science, life histories of great men, and nature.
The students are extremely happy with the books. We arranged timings for each class to go to library and do their reference work. Now, it has become a comfortable place to live, to love and to learn. Your generous gift will be of good use to our students for many years and they'll think of your generosity throughout their life. –administrator for orphanage with school
Thank you for your kind support of this project. World's Children will continue to add library books to the 36 libraries we have started at orphanages and schools and create new libraries as generous support permits.
