Book collection drive for underprivileged children

Come Sunday, everyone in Chennai will have an opportunity to make a small contribution to a cause requiring a large amount of effort – educating children from underprivileged sections.

The Hindu presents ‘Aviva Great Wall of Education', a book collection drive that seeks to source as many books as possible for children and raise the general awareness about the several million children who do not have access to schools.

The initiative will be launched at the Express Avenue Mall, Royapettah, on September 5 and go on till September 9. Anyone who wishes to donate books for children could come to the venue and place their books on the ‘wall' to be set up at the venue.

Books are also to be collected by placing drop boxes at different schools and other venues in the city.
