Salma’s Book Donation
Salma’s Book Drive
My name is Salma liborio, I am helping this organization because in this generation I do not see many children or teenagers reading anymore. I was not a huge book reader but as I am getting older I am finding some peace that comes with it. I want to be able to give or help the youth with giving some books that will not only help with context and vocabulary but with themselves as well. For example, me and a friend could read the same book but we both could understand and comprehend it in different ways. By giving back and helping people who are incarcerated this can be a way out for them to express themselves. Books are used to tell stories, shine light on history, to empower one another, etc. My plan is to make these children feel like they are not missing out because of their circumstances but still keeping faith that someone is rooting for their greatness. Sometimes gifts that are books can give a message that someone may need. My goal for this project is to be able to donate at least 25 books to a youth center here in Atlanta. I would like to have that impact on someone that could help them in the long run. These young adolescents could be dealing with trouble times and by reading one could use this as a positive gateway to enrich their intelligence.
The advice I’d give anyone that is interested in donating is that who wouldn’t want to have that impact on the youth? With all the new electronics and devices now I believe that not many young children are reading as much anymore. These children don’t have access to those devices and I believe that donating or giving away books that changed you, brought new information to you, or even just a fun read will be a good way to stay up to date without needing an electronic device. A book they may not have made an impact on your life could possibly help another person’s life.
