Books with Love ♥

Books! I love lavishing my daughter with books and that's something I would love other children to have as well! I'm aware that many parents especially here in our barrio doesn't fully understand the value of reading because they themselves wouldn't even bother to open a book, there's the TV, there's the internet who needs books nowadays? I want to break this cycle even in the smallest possible scale. Here in our third world nation, libraries outside school are rarities if they exist, most are just decrepit rooms wherein books means encyclopedias, dictionaries, textbooks and bible story series. Reading is magic, it widens our horizons, it captivates imagination! Imagination is a beautiful beautiful thing, for me it's almost synonymous with genius. It is one thing I would like to impart on my child and other children. And this is only the beginning... I want to turn it into my advocacy... decent libraries for every town!

So here's what I have to do first.
1. Do legwork, discuss it with government agencies or NGO's
2. Solicit donations.
3. Set distribution date, venue, and other additional activities.
4. Send invites, ads, coordinate with barangay officials and other agencies. 
Best of luck to me. I hope the passion will keep burning in my heart!
