Annas Donation Project

Incarcerated Youth Project 

Why I am participating:

I am interested in doing this project because I enjoy helping others. I think that everyone should have the chance to branch out and learn new things no matter where they are established. If someone is incarcerated and they want magazines, books, sudoku, board games, or anything of that matter, I feel as though that should be allowed. It does no harm but to share what others are doing and enjoying around them. When I was growing up we had contests to see who could read the most books per week and if you won, you would then receive a prize. Looking back on that I want to be able to give back to those who can’t leave and enjoy a good book. Reading is a good get away, one can get so locked into a book and forget where they are and what’s going on around them, it can be quite calming. Books can have a great impact, the story and plot behind each one can resonate with the person and can be very eye opening and open up a new chapter in one’s life. 

Goal:

My goal is to help out the incarcerated youth in any way that I can. I am going to donate books to the incarcerated youth in Georgia.

Research:

I found out how important donations are for their library services. I ended up deciding to donate directly to The Georgia Department of Corrections library services.

Donations:

I donated a couple books that I thought would be meaningful, and could form relations between the characters in the book and the incarcerated youth. I thought of giving them old time favorites such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Giver, To Kill a Mockingbird and more.

Advice:

My advice would be to do research to find out where to send the books, and help out in any way possible, the best plan would be to get a box and ship it to a donation center or directly to an organization.
