Book Haven opens 1st mini-Library at New Life Care Centre, Port Dickson

Date: 12th June 2009, Port Dickson 2nd Mile, Jalan Pantai

Book Haven (a Literacy Initiative) in partnership with BU Ladies FIR Group, the Dram Projects, opened the 1st mini-Library in New Life Care Centre (NLCC), Port Dickson.
NLCC, a foster home for 35 orphans (age 3 to 14), is managed by Pastor Paul Jegan & Katherine Paul. The BU Ladies FIR Group supports NLCC with the basic daily needs.

On Opening Day, Book Haven delivered a batch of 282 books, book cabinets, table & chairs, sponsored by ABC Golf Group. The Dram Projects, an NGO, with good contact with Book Publishers, brought in 64 books, thanks to Scholastic.

Now the 35 children of NLCC has 346 colorful story books with a ratio of almost 1 to 10!
We are committed to continue supporting NLCC and hope that this Literacy Initiative will produce a few shining stars.
