JCI Ortigas is inviting everyone to BOOKLAT: A Fundraiser for the Young Focus Center Library on July 31, 2016, at 10A-Alabama in Quezon City.
Under JCI Ortigas’ flagship project PLEASE (Project Library Education and Skills Enhancement), we believe in the powerful role of books in a child’s education. It is a program that focuses on the improvement and renovation of public school libraries helping create an environment more conducive to learning and development. Moreover, we further commit our time and resources to our beneficiary schools by conducting seminars and tutorials in those libraries.
Young Focus, is a non-government organization that works towards making education accessible to the young people living on and around Smokey Mountain. You can learn more about them at: http://www.youngfocus.org/
The Young Focus team wants to create more inviting place to encourage the children to read, as well as update their book selection. More than it being a fundraiser, we also aim to advocate literacy awareness among the youth. Through reading, we learn about people, places and events outside our own experiences. We are exposed to different ideas and beliefs; that broaden our knowledge about the world.
As lovers of books, and art, come support our cause and join this creative gathering where we can engage, and immerse ourselves in the joy of reading and writing. See you there!
