Donation of Books from Care Bears Preschool Curriculum Program
Donation of Books from Care Bears Preschool Curriculum Program: :
In November this year (2006), The Care Bears preschool curriculum program, You're Never Too Young to Care, in conjunction with the annual celebration of National Care Week organized a special event at Malls where the community was invited to donate children’s books. The 2006 National Care Week celebration kicked off with a national "Share-A-Story" event.
As part of this event, a book donation drive was held on November 4-5 at selected mall locations throughout the country to encourage children to spread the love of reading. The donation program took place at 87 malls. Each participating mall location had a book donation collection site. New and gently used books appropriate for children ages pre-school through primary grades were collected. Through this event, Develop Africa had the opportunity to receive a donation of books from 2 malls in Knoxville TN. Books will be distributed to children and schools in Africa through our Million Book Project |
