Library and books are considered to be the
cornerstones of a healthy community.Libraries give people the opportunity toexperience new ideas, explore great minds,and experience great art, while at the sametime providing a sense of place for gathering.
However, millions of Pakistanis andparticularly children do not have books.Many schools do not have a library. Habitsthat children form at a young age will stay
with them for a lifetime. Childhood istherefore the best time to instill a love forreading. This will help educate and inform theperson throughout his/her lifespan.Developing love of books leads to love forlearning. When a child loves to learn,opportunities greatly increase. There is a direneed for educational books in Pakistan. These
books will make a real difference in enhancing
literacy / reading skills among children andyouth.
These books will benefit and impact thecommunity in many ways:
It will provide opportunities forchildren, youth and communitymembers to have access information;It will develop habit of reading inchildren that will have a great impact on
their life; andTeachers will use teaching and learningmaterials in their classrooms
Community elders, members of the societyand teachers as well as students have greatlyappreciated Rotary Books of the World andHashoo Foundation efforts in providingbooks to the Pakistani youth.
