Gift of Gyaan.
October brings along a great opportunity
for all to play a small part in a huge cause i.e. education of
the underprivileged children.
Gyaan
exchange, a start-up company, in association with its NGO partner Goonj has
organised a BOOK COLLECTION DRIVE in all the major metros of India until 10th October, 2012.
Gyaan exchange is an online community where anybody
with a skill, knowledge or idea can teach and anyone with a desire to gain
knowledge can learn new things. Gyaan exchange aims to collect at least 500
books through this drive and has volunteered to give them to their NGO partner Goonj.
Goonj works as a medium in channelizing the unused
materials lying idle in our urban homes to far flung villages where people don’t
have access to the basic essentials for living.If you have any questions about the NGO, you can find your answers here.
All you have to do to make a contribution is go to your book
shelves, pick up the books you know you are never going to read or have read,
dust them and send them across to the addresses listed below.
The books can be any genre. Fiction, nonfiction and even curriculum
based. So dig thru and get out those books. There is not going
to be a better way to put them to use. You can also send in books thru Flipkart
and other e-commerce websites.
The brand will also be giving away
exciting prizes to those who give the maximum number of books. The top three
and ten lucky winners will get a book hamper from Gyaanexchange.com
Your book will end up being a medium in imparting knowledge to
someone who needs it the most but can’t access it. So contribute as many books
as you can. There are prizes to be won too.Hurry, you can send in your books only till 10th October, 2012.
