There are some wonderful student-led initiatives happening at the moment – and this is one of them!
Akoranga Service Prefect Jacqueline Ramos came up with the idea of a Book Drive after talking to her House Charity (Foster Hope) representative. “I asked her what other things they needed aside from monetary means, since I wanted to do more for them other than organising fundraisers,” she says.
“She mentioned how one of the things they try to provide for foster kids is books since they believe that reading books is important for growing kids and young teenagers. When she told me this, I figured I could help collect books with the assistance of our Westlake community. I am hoping to reach at least 100 books by the end of the term.”
If you’d like to help Jacqueline reach 100 books, bring (or send your daughter) in with teen novels.
Come on Westlake – we can make a difference!
