BOOK COLLECTION
Thank you to everyone who donated books to the 2010 Book Collection campaign.
Through your generous contributions we were able to collect more than 15 000 books this year!
Many schools and libraries in South Africa continue to experience a serious shortage of books, due to a lack of sufficient funds. These educational institutions accordingly struggle to supply their communities with proper reading material needed to improve literacy in young and old alike. The RSG/KKNK Book Collection campaign addresses this shortage by collecting books for underprivileged communities. The campaign, now in its twelfth year, has through the years collected and distributed more than a million books.
Shoprite and Checkers have always been on the foreground in supporting various campaigns aimed at furthering the education of our country’s children. In support of the 2010 RSG/KKNK Book Collection campaign, Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets countrywide provided collection points for books customers no longer use. The public were invited to contribute to the campaign by donating all types of books – fiction, non-fiction, textbooks, children’s literature, encyclopaedias and reference books, old and new.
The 2010 Book Collection campaign ended on 30 April 2010. All books collected will be sorted and distributed to needy schools, libraries and community organizations by the Vryburgers Diensorganisasie. |
