The Younger Sun bookshop is going to be giving a bunch of books as Christmas presents to young Sudanese children this year. The majority of these kids have arrived in Australia as refugees or are the children of refugees from South Sudan.
Most of these kids are otherwise unlikely to receive anything at Christmas and by giving books we're also increasing their access to reading materials within their homes. So if you would like to donate a book too - you can! Just come into the shop and choose one you think is great.
The books will be distributed amongst young Sudanese families in Melbourne's west by the Lost Boys Association.
Already our hearts have been warmed by the generosity of our customers. Thank you!
You guys are awesome! When do you need the donations by?
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteI think we probably need to start wrapping and distributing them on Thursday or so...but any time before Christmas. That would be great!
Love from the YSx
Great! I'll aim to pop in before then.
