The Civilitas Foundation together with ESPACES Youth Training Center has initiated “Angel Tree” Christmas Project which plans to collect books, puzzles and educational games for children’s corners of different rural community libraries. This project goes along with our “Libraries as Centers for Civil Society” project, sponsored by the U.S. embassy, which aims to help regional community libraries become centers of civil society.
The Civilitas staff with the help of ESPACES volunteers handmade and decorated tree angel ornaments, placing the first angel tree in ESPACES center, with all the angel ornaments characterizing different Christmas wishes on the back of them. The first book donation was received the very first day of the project, followed by a 15,000 AMD donation by an NGO for the purchase of additional books.
In January, all of the collected books and puzzles will be donated to community libraries throughout the country.
