A group of local booklovers in Auckland have thrown their support around a project to supply suitable books to the underground book club network in Afghanistan.
“The New Afghan Government banned books for girls. As fellow booklovers, we wanted to do something practical to support all the booklover women and girls in this country. We started to partner with the underground book clubs’ books in Afghanistan and offer to supply them with books and educational resources to foster their love of reading” Said Rosario Aran, speaking on behalf of the group
On World Literacy Day, September 8, we are asking people from Auckland to join us and advocate for girls in Afghanistan.
“As a lover of books, l couldn’t even imagine if l wasn’t allowed to read books any more” stated Ms Aran. Could you?
We have partnered with the World Literacy Foundation on World Literacy Day to support 3000 girls in Afghanistan by providing the access to books anyway we can.
We invite you to enlighten and change the life of thousands of girls in Afghanistan. Join us!
