Dear Friend,
A lot of Government Primary Schools in Punjab don't have libraries. Others don't have books that attract children and inspire them to read. There are certainly no books that are dual -language, heavily illustrated, playful, attractive and those that give wings to children's imaginations, teach them good values while teaching them basic things about the Undivided Punjab -- it's two scripts and common heritage.
So when Simranjit Singh goes to government primary schools and does storytelling sessions for children from our Undivided Punjab edition, they are not only mesimerized, they are inspired to learn - good Punjabi, good English, know about Shahmukhi and much more.
By donating books to their schools and encouraging them to borrow them from their teacher we instill a culture of reading at home.
If the kids are ambitious, they further explore the Shahmukhi script. They learn good English through translations. This books becomes a whole world for them.
And we have you to thank for doing your part so we can continue to do ours. This year we will be reprinting another batch of 3000 books and continue to distribute them.
Please don't forget to go to our Facebook Page to check out some of the pictures.
Chardi Kala,
Gurmeet Kaur
