Incredible Library Project in Gili Air with Lucy - The Magic of Giving Back

🤔 ABOUT THIS VIDEO 👇  The Library Project Gili Air Blog Post  Reading is for everyone. Even in the digital age where physical books are quickly becoming antiquated, the ability to read is critical to success in life. Developing literacy doesn't happen overnight. It requires explicit instruction, practice, and patience. But, the very first step is cultivating a child’s interest in reading and ensuring access to high-quality, engaging text.    I had heard many people mention that there is a literacy gap on Gili Air. Students just aren't into reading, especially when presented with a choice between a book and a hand phone - social media always prevails. It wasn't until I first visited the existing library at SDN 1 in January that I recognized the seriousness of the problem.  Walking through the threshold under the sign, Perpustakaan, we found a room full of dusty shelves with hundreds of books shoved in every which way and overflowing into piles on the floor. The assorted furniture was haphazardly arranged and after winding through the bookcases like a maze, there was only more rubbish and debris to be found. This wasn’t a library, it was more of an overlooked storage room.  When educated adults allowed the library to become and stay such a disorganized place, how could the children possibly be expected to cultivate a desire to read? Books need to be revered, modeled as a source of knowledge, and treated as something to be cared for and shared for children to understand their value.   🤓 VIEW THE BLOG POST 👇  https://juliespark.com/ 🔔  SUBSCRIBE TO FROM SLOW TO FLOW ON YOUTUBE 👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqwT2X37l7LYEAsjiFHitTg ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🗣 TALK TO ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 👇   Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/askjulie.spark Facebook https://www.facebook.com/slowsecrets Linked In ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-spark-ba1287a/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬  💻 MY PRODUCTS & COURSES 👇  www.juliespark.com/programs   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this YouTube Channel and the resources available for download/viewing through this YouTube Channel are for educational and informational purposes only.​  This description may contain affiliate links.
