Donate A Book, Share A Story

Description

Kiwanis Club of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (KCTTDI) and Books For A Better World (BFBW) have come together once again for another collaborative effort. "Donate A Book, Share A Story" has been running consecutively for three years, and today it was held at Tropicana Gardens Mall (TGM). Together with Nature Farm, ED Labels, D’Italiane, and GSC, we joined forces to make the day extra magical for the children of The Assembly Learning Centre (TALC).
The children were initially shy as they took to the stage, but they soon overcame their fear and sang a few delightful songs, with the guests cheering and singing along to boost their confidence. We had the privilege of YAM Tengku Datin Paduka Setia Zatashah Binti Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, YBhg Puan Sri Dato’ Hajah Khir Johari (also known as Mama Kiwanis), Andrew Ashvin of Tropicana Gardens Mall, and Adrian Ung (CEO of Books For A Better World), who personally presented Christmas gifts to the children.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors: BFBW (for gifting books), TGM (for the musical box & carousel ride), Nature Farm Enterprise (for refreshing coconut water), ED Labels (for stationery and bags), D’Italiane (for the delicious lunch & desserts), and GSC (for popcorn, drinks, and Moana 2). Their collaborative effort truly exemplifies the true meaning of Christmas, spreading joy and promoting literacy among underprivileged children.
This collaborative effort aims to boost literacy among underprivileged communities, and today we were able to treat 40 children and teachers to an unforgettable experience. We plan to continue our efforts and are happy to announce that from January onwards, we will be donating 1,000 books to various homes, shelters, and communities around the Klang Valley.
If you would like to be part of this effort, please get in touch with us. Together, we can make a difference!
