Sepang, 24th January 2021 – In conjunction with International Day of Education, AirAsia Foundation launched ‘Books for Good’, a two-week book donation drive for the SHELTER Home for Children which cares for underprivileged children aged four to twelve.
Donors are invited to purchase local children’s titles with themes of culture and nature at RM25.00 each from DestinationGOOD.com, AirAsia Foundation’s social enterprise retail outlet, to benefit both the recipients and also Malaysian authors and illustrators. This outlet retails over 400 responsibly and ethically produced goods from over 50 social enterprises in Asean.
Yap Mun Ching, Executive Director of AirAsia Foundation, said the drive was organised to support children care homes and those unable to attend school by supplying shelters with education resources. She expressed hope that there would be plenty of donations, and that the donations would teach the children to love nature and Malaysia’s diversity.
