Concept

• Volunteer-Families (VF), led by father/husband, will visit Recipient-Families (RF) and read to the children assigned to them.
• RF are families who are unable to read to their children due to various circumstances, e.g. families with illiterate parents.
• VF will visit RF as a family (i.e. father will go with his children or wife or both) or as a couple (i.e. husband and wife).

The main thing is to get children interested in books themselves. Starting with books with plenty of colours, animals, dinosaurs, dragons, cars, trucks, planes and motorbikes. (more…)

I think its cool and special. Isn’t it all about bonding!? But I do have to admit, I always seemed to find excuses to hit straight to bed especially after a long day, leaving my children whining. (more…)
