The UPNG Literature Reader Society was pleased to announce the successful donation of two boxes of children's reading books, book sleeves, and bookmarks to an independent book drive on Saturday, May 25.
This initiative, led
by final-year Chemistry student Natalie Hungure, aims to provide much-needed
reading materials to her former primary school in Daulo District, Eastern
Highlands Province, during the semester break in June.
Natalie shared her inspiration for the project, citing the
lack of availability and accessibility of books in her old school.
"When I was in
grade 7, I asked my teacher to visit the library, and I was referred to the
Head Master. He showed me a small room that had just four walls and shelves
filled with teaching materials. It looked more like a storage room than a
library," she recalled.
Driven by her passion to give back, Natalie illustrated what
it means to be a catalyst for change. "I want to ensure future students
have access to the books I never had," she added.
