Millennium Fellowship Project: Book Bridge Foundation
Book Bridge is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting literacy and education in our community. We believe that access to books is essential for children to succeed in school and by providing them to the less privileged, we lighten the burden in the pursuit for education. This year we are starting with redistribution of fairly used books. We are focusing on collecting and redistributing books from those who don't, to those who do need them. We hope to provide free books and reading resources to children in need. We also offer programs and events that encourage children to learn and promote literacy. In the long run, it would positively impact the society. Like the founding members of the organisation say, Book Bridge Foundation is on a mission to provide free books, eliminate barriers to education and empower young minds. This year, our dream is focused to ensure that children have equal access to academic materials and to bring an end to needless wastage of book that could change someone's life. We need all the support we can get. Together, we can make a difference!
