Contribution

We warmly welcome you to participate in 1001buku by sending books and toys that nurture children?s creativity. We will deliver your donations to children?s libraries and reading corners within our network as fit for their purpose-for the betterment of education of underprivileged children.

Volunteering
If you are based in the united states, here are some ways you can volunteer or make a contribution

What we do
These are some of the main activities of 1001buku:

• Book Drop Box (BDB)
  Book Drop Boxes are strategically located receptacles in Jakarta and Bandung (coming to other cities soon). The purpose of these boxes is so that you, a supporter of this initiative, can have easy access to donate children?s books, magazines, and other reading materials-new or used-to children?s libraries. We also welcome toys that nurture children?s creativity. Every BDB is managed by one or more volunteers who work or live in the area where the BDB is located. The BDB network is managed wholly by 1001buku volunteers.

• Book Sorting, Distribution and Packing
  In the last week of every month, 1001buku volunteers get together to record the month?s book donations from all of the BOOK DROP BOXES. These books are then sorted and distributed to children?s libraries based on their needs and requests.

• Children?s Libraries Management
  1001buku supports independent, non-profit, community-run children?s libraries by providing books to expand their collections and by creating opportunities for library organizers to share experiences and improve their skills in facilitating their library?s activities for children.

• Regular Gatherings
  With the aim of strengthening friendship, coordination, and to regularly evaluate our activities, 1001buku volunteers hold a regular meeting every 2-3 months. All resources needed for these meetings come from volunteers? contributions, and meetings are held in venues that are provided free of charge.

We look forward to your participation.
