Resident volunteers like Gurpreet Walia (T7), Kirti Chibber (T6) and Anuja Gupta (T25), with the help of Abhishek Gupta, Secretary AOA – 3, organised a Books Exchange Fair on Thursday, 23 March from 4 – 7 PM. They were helped by a team of children and teenagers called ‘Swayam Sewaks’.
With the start of new school sessions and kids graduating to new classes, we often find parents in school WhatsApp groups requesting books from the parents of older children. Notes and mint condition books are often hard to find.
Parents of almost 50 kids benefitted from this Exchange Fair. Children brought their book sets from their previous class year and took away current class book sets (given and exchanged by their respective seniors).
A few parents donated their kids’ old story books and help books too, which were happily taken away.
Kudos to this initiative taken by the residents towards the environment – reducing unnecessary consumption & reusing existing books!
