| BookXcess Pledges 13000 Books To The Underprivileged To Celebrate Its 13th Anniversary |
The 13,000 books will
be equally donated to Red Readerhood’s collaborating non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), which include The Book Effect, a project under Friends
to Mankind, SOLS 24/7 an award-winning humanitarian organization established
by its Malaysian founder Raj Ridvan Singh, and Buku Jalanan Chow Kit an organisation that helps underprivileged children to escape the cycle of poverty
in Chow Kit area.
“Our 13th anniversary
marks a momentous milestone for us, and as a homegrown brand that believes in
making knowledge accessible for all, we’d like to celebrate it by helping those
in need through a strategic partnership with the three renowned NGOs. In line
with the spirit of Merdeka and Malaysia Day, we hope to open a new chapter for
Malaysian readers by sustaining the efforts to help Malaysia become a Nation of
Readers in the wake of the pandemic,” said Andrew Yap, Co-Founder of BookXcess
Sdn Bhd. “Knowledge accessibility will insinuate hope within the hearts and
minds of those in need and we are helping to build a new generation of
intellects who will eventually carry the responsibility of building a better
nation and society in the future,” he added.
“Here at BookXcess,
it is our mission to make books accessible to all, spread the joy of reading,
and increase English literacy. Red Readerhood is a firm believer that everyone
regardless of status should have access to acquire knowledge through reading.
Through Red Readerhood, brand-new English books are collected and donated to
the underprivileged through a local organization in support of their cause.
With all the technology that exists in this day and age, people forget the
value of a good book and how far literacy has taken the world,” said Jacqueline
Ng, Co-Founder of BookXcess Sdn. Bhd.
During the
five-month-long campaign, the public can join hands with BookXcess by donating
brand-new books purchased at any BookXcess outlets nationwide. BookXcess will
match each donation by the customers to hit the 13,000-book goal. To
