Donation of ReadingMile Storybooks
On-going since July 2018
I’ve been working with my mom and my brother to create the ReadingMile® Storybook Series for months to encourage parents to discover the value of reading aloud to children, which naturally inspires children to discover the pleasure of reading and ultimately become life-long readers.
So far, we’ve donated 6,264 storybooks to the children in need in Hong Kong and China:
- Plan International HK (for their charity sales at the HK Books Fair in July 2018)
Plan International China (to look after the stay-behind children)
Po Leung Kuk Kindergartens
Po Leung Kuk Primary Schools
Hong Kong Public Libraries
Hong Kong Lutheran Social Service, LC-HKS
Wuhan Youth Foundation
14 kindergartens in Xian, China (which looks after the stay-behind children)
5 kindergartens in Shanghai, China
