'Dandelion Bookshelf': Join hands to contribute books, help dreams take flight

If 20% of the rich people in society share part of their wealth to help 80% of those who are less fortunate - not directly in kind or cash but indirectly through education, knowledge, science, technology, health care, etc., then society will always develop well. That is the way to help beneficiaries to be self-reliant with their own capacity, knowledge and virtue, and then continue to return to support other less fortunate people, as people often say "give fishing rods and inspiration to go fishing instead of giving fish".

“Dandelion Bookshelf” is a charity program in the field of education, which will be implemented by Dat Xanh Nghe An Real Estate and Service Joint Stock Company at Dien Doai Primary School, Dien Doai Commune, Dien Chau District, Nghe An Province in May 2019. The program hopes to build a free bookshelf with a variety of books for children in schools, communities, villages, orphanages, etc., with special priority given to children in remote, rural, and mountainous areas with many difficulties.

Unlike students in the city, children in remote areas face countless challenges when going to school. Going to school is already a joy, the result of efforts and the spirit of overcoming difficulties, and that joy will be doubled if schools open up more opportunities for children to access advanced knowledge, social knowledge as well as childhood interests. If each of us is too familiar with the book series Seeds of the Soul, Vietnamese Prodigy, Doraemon... that accompanied our childhood years, then holding new books in hand for poor children is too much of a luxury, a dream that they look forward to every day.

In addition to awarding 30 scholarships to poor students who have overcome difficulties to study well, sports equipment for each classroom, a bookcase with 200 new books for Dien Doai Primary School, Dat Xanh Nghe An calls on everyone to join hands in donating and contributing books to partly solve the shortage of books in schools, contributing to the development of reading culture, creating conditions for children to have closer access to knowledge and develop a more enriched soul.

This is a simple but effective charitable activity that every individual and organization can participate in, a small action that creates great meaning for future generations.

Donated books can be new or used books and stories that still have content value. Books belong to the following genres: advanced books for elementary classes, stories, newspapers, science books for children, books about culture, history, books about seeds of the soul, life skills, comics, short stories, poems, novels for children... In addition, Dat Xanh Nghe An also hopes to receive the cooperation and support of publishers and book companies nationwide.

“Give a child a book and you change the world” (Neil de Grasse Tyson). "Dandelion Bookshelf" hopes to contribute to building a solid foundation of knowledge and beautiful souls for children, so that they can grow up strong like dandelions, carrying their dreams to fly high and far to new horizons, helping to change their own world and make our world more beautiful.
