Lovingbooks team
LovingBooks organization was initiated by a high school student, Mr. Duc Duy Nguyen, who is studying at Elyria Catholic High School in Elyria, Ohio. He got a chance to visit his aunt in the U.S when he was 10 years old. On that occasion, he was impressed by the quality of public library system in the U.S. with so many children’s books as well as their activities to encourage reading habit. He dreamed that Vietnamese kids could have the same benefits. He desired to bring those books to his home country – Vietnam – for them. With the supports of his aunt, his parents, his younger brother and his friends, the dream came true. Loving seeds were distributed. Thousands of books were sent back home. The book recipients are HIBS school library in Ho Chi Minh City, reading corner at Rehabilitation Center for Handicapped Children in Ho Chi Minh City, Dream library for poor children in Dalat.
Since 2014, Duc and LovingBooks organization officially collaborated with The Vietnam Book Drive for Kids project to collect donated books in Ohio, then finally send those books to various public libraries and reading clubs in Vietnam. Official Facebook page of LovingBooks.
Please join us to cultivate loving seeds with care!
