180,000 Used Books as Low as HK$10 on Sale Proceeds to Benefit Needy Children
The annual Used Book Recycling Campaign,
co-organised by World Vision Hong Kong and AEON Stores (Hong Kong) Co. Limited,
kicks off today (25 July) at Plaza Hollywood in Diamond Hill. Over 180,000 used
books, ranging from novels, leisure reading, children’s books and comics, to reference
books, are on sale for as low as HK$10.
The Campaign will raise funds for World Vision’s
early childhood education projects in the provinces of Guangxi and Shaanxi,
China, to help nurture children’s virtues and impart basic knowledge to the
young generation. World Vision welcomes the public to support the book sale, so
as to allow more vulnerable children to pursue their dreams.
Alongside the sale, the campaign offers free
books to children from low-income families. This year, 11 local NGOs
participate in this scheme as their staff will take children to the event to
select their favourite readers and experience the joy of reading.
