With the opening of the Ministry’s E-Library, the center has offered free tutorial classes among TCM kids who needed help with their lesson and school assignments. They were able to access free use of books and computer in the center. Through this program, the ministry supplements the learning gap among children enrolled in public schools.
The Ministry received a book shipment form International Book Project last February 22, 2010. Music, Math, Science and English books was sent to us all the way from the United States of America.
The International Book Project is an international nonprofit whose mission is to promote education and literacy while broadening Americans’ understanding of their neighbors by sending quality used books overseas. Each year IBP sends more than 150,000 books to schools, libraries, churches, nonprofits, and Peace Corps volunteers in over 40 developing countries. Since 1966, the International Book Project has sent more than 5.8 million books abroad (International Book Project).
A wide selection of story and picture books, child craft, dictionaries and encyclopedia are of great use. IBP donated quality and informative books that have supplied the center’s needs.
The children always look forward to every afternoon in the center. They loved reading and answering activity books. “Good books are the warehouses of ideas” as said by H.G. Wells and through the ministry’s endeavor; it has helped broaden a child’s learning competency. Through IBP, the ministry’s E-Library has offered more than just filling in empty book shelves but an environment where a child can comprehend, widen one’s imagination and learn through books.
Thank you to International Book Project for supporting our cause and making it happen. The Ministry has been blessed with people who despite not knowing or seeing each other, has continued to believe in our mission. Another answered prayer and we praise the Lord for that. Our God supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus Phiilp. 4:19.
