Description:
A Library in Every Neighborhood project, under the We Love Reading Initiative, aims to instill the love of reading in children at an early age - 4 and 10 - as well as include Jordan’s youth as active social entrepreneurial leaders.
Taghyeer organization, in partnership with INJAZ organization, will select 40 volunteers from various areas in the Kingdom ages between 18 and 24. The volunteers will participate in training workshops on how to read aloud and on development of personal, managerial as well as social entrepreneurship skills. The one year Project also aims at introducing and sustaining the concept of volunteerism in youth. Volunteers will establish and own the libraries in their local communities and will receive children stories to read aloud. In addition, volunteers will launch social initiatives of their own that serve the needs of their local communities, thus enhancing their leadership, managerial and team building capacities.
We Love reading started out as an individual initiative in 2006 and is now implemented as a model in more than 14 countries worldwide.
