Book Haven - A Literacy Initiative

If a child comes from an economically deprived home with a mom who has a poor vocabulary, by age 3 his fate just maybe sealed. He will possibly never catch up in school and have life long struggles with learning. The average child growing in a middle-class family has been exposed to 1,000 to 1,700 hours of one-on-one picture reading before entering school whilst the average child in a low-income family has only been exposed to 25 hours of one-on-one picture reading during the same period!

Selecting the Books for Book Haven's Library at New Life Care Center, Port Dickson

26 December 2008

The BU Ladies FIR Group, who are sponsors of the New Life Care Centre (NLCC) in Port Dickson, took an afternoon off in selecting the 1st batch of books (87 books) at Book Xcess, Amcorp Mall, Petaling Jaya.

On 18 Feb 2009, the BU Ladies FIR Group were again quite busy selecting the 2nd batch of books (102 books) for the NLCC children from MPH Bookstores, 1Utama, Petaling Jaya.

Great Effort Ladies! The NLCC children would be very grateful for all your hard work!
