As part of the Paper Aid and Paper Awareness Day initiative, we at Grycksbo support The Library Project. It is a non-profit organisation that provides books for schools and orphanages in Asia. The organisation is built on the simple idea that education is change. That education is the catalyst which breaks the cycle of poverty in the developing world and provides children with the opportunity for a positive future. Books of all kinds play a critical role in a child’s development. Unfortunately, there are very few books beyond school textbooks found in most orphanages and countryside elementary schools in Asia.

The Library Project has some amazing yet attainable goals: by the end of 2009 we will have donated over 225 libraries to rural elementary schools and orphanages in Asia. Projecting further into the future, we hope to provide 350 libraries by the end of 2010.
