We are going to collect books in the United States, then ship back to Vietnam via ocean freight. The project will include:
- Collecting books through forms of donation, purchase and share
- Raising money through crowd funding, scholarship, government and private funding
- Coordinating with different community-based projects in Vietnam to build public library models
- Training of professionals at community level to enable them to organize club events and provide the support needed to children within their districts
- Develop social network and online book database to facilitate the book sharing between different public libraries who receives our donated books across Vietnam
The project is expected to collect at least 20,000 new and used children books and support between 10-20 reading communities in the first drive in 2015-2016. By doing that, we hope to reach at least 1,000 children directly through workshop and library events, as well as engage their associated adults and friends.
