(HBO) - Up to now, Hoa Binh Volunteering Club has called for collection and donation of "The Friendly Book Library” for the children and people in some difficult areas in the province. Thereby, it has helped to spread the reading culture, creating a playground for kids during weekends and summer vacations.

Children in Long area, Ba Hang Doi town (Lac Thuy) are excited about the comic books awarded by Hoa Binh Volunteering Club.

Ms. Do Thi Dung, the Chairman of Hoa Binh Volunteering Club, says that setting up "The Friendly Book Library” aims to spread the reading culture, creating a playground for students in the difficult areas at weekends and during summer vocations. Long area is a difficult area in Ba Hang Doi town, especially in April this year there was a tragic incident that 3 children drowned, partly due to a lack of the playgrounds. 

Therefore, the club has called on the associations, the reading groups and the philanthropists inside and outside the province to collect about 500 books to donate to the children. In addition to the comic books and the books for children, there are also guidebooks on the economic development for not only children, but also for the adults in the residential area so that they can find useful knowledge at the "The Friendly Book Library”. We are very happy that the children are interested in reading and the program has received the support from the parents and the local authorities.

There are about 60 students in Long area. Previously, there was no place in the area for children and the local to read books. Mr. Bui Van Chieu, the Secretary of the Party Cell of Long area says the fact that Hoa Binh Volunteering Club has awarded "The Friendly Book Library” is a very meaningful gift to the people in the residential area. From the books awarded by the club, the local people hope that the spirit of the child's desire to read and learn will be risen more, especially in the context that many children are "addicted” to the current technological equipment.

According to Ms. Do Thi Dung, the Chairman of Hoa Binh Volunteering Club, in the coming time the club continues calling for the collection and donation of books, newspapers and stories to set up more "Friendly Book Libraries" to give to the children and the people in many other difficult areas of the province.
