Donate your books to the youngs, and watch them grow with their dreams!
 
For you booklovers, the bookloving community who?s often feels amused by reading and gets knowledge and wisdom from it. Don?t you want to share that feeling to the Indonesian children, the ones that almost never been touched by books? Aren?t you touched to see smiles rise on their sweet faces when their hopes (to enjoy books) came true?
 
To those of you who plan to come to the Islamic BookFair on March, 24 - 28, 2004, we - who are joined together in the 1001buku community - are calling you to share happiness with Indonesian children, by donating old children books that you might not need anymore. And watch your lending hand helps them reach the dreams that never even came across their minds.
 
So, don?t just come with an intention to buy books for yourselves. Give some of your old books (new ones are more than welcome!) for the Indonesian children. We will help on distributing them to all the children in different towns all around Indonesia. Our volunteers will cheer you on Mizan Bookstand (and some other bookstand), because we will put a book drop box (BDB), a container for you to put the books you?d donate.
 
Remember, millions of Indonesian children are waiting for your willingness, join more than 500 volunteers in 1001buku.
