HelpWithBooks Trust is an organization dedicated to nurturing reading within the Tibetan community. As a fully volunteer-driven organization, we are passionate about instigating positive change in the community, firmly believing in investing in the education of our children.
It was founded in 2008, developed from our experience as children living in the Tibetan refugee settlement in South India. . It was always difficult for book lovers to get good books to read because they are either too expensive to buy or the books available in the school library are not easily accessible. It was about two decades ago and when we found that there hasn’t been much change we felt that something has to be done. During our various conversations on the topic, a good friend remarked — “Reading should be for pleasure” and since then we found a direction to our idea.
We believe that every child and adults alike will love and enjoy books, we just have to create an environment conducive for every reader to find this joy.
Our aim is to offer children and people of all ages the opportunity to look at books with a new perspective — a medium to Learn, Inspire, Educate and Empower.
