Ex-Book-Change – Exchange Old Books

Sun o1 Jul 2012, 8 – 11 am
Viet Nam University of Fine Arts

From the organizer:
Let’s participate in the program “Ex-Book-Change”– a meaningful program to exchange old books for everyone in Hanoi. Ex-Book-Change is a Mottainai of books in Hanoi. Instead of exchanging used items in general like Mottainai, the only items that would be used to exchange are old and new books.

With its slogan “Let books light up children’s dream”, besides the purpose of creating a place where people can interact and share their passion on books with others, Ex-Book-Change has its philanthropic meaning: It is a warm-up event for the project Ngay Hoi Doc Sach – Reading Books Festival, which will be held by Circle of Friends – Youth Volunteer Organization and supported by Thang Long March Fund (Quy Thang Ba Thang Long). This project aims to support more than 8000 children at the 08 poorest communes in Ba Vi, Hanoi. All the books for children in primary and secondary schools that are donated from Ex-Book-Change will be used to build libraries for the children in Ba Vi. Books do not only link everyone and the poor children together but also equip new knowledge and skills that would be helpful for their future lives. Books evoke their dreams which have probably been limited by the daily material shortages in their lives.

Besides the main activity of exchanging books, there are many other games and contests such as My favorite book, EBC Colors, Lucky draw, Calligraphy, Portrait-Sketching, etc.
