The Sreepur Village, a UK-based charity, provides a safe haven for over 400 children and 150 mothers in rural Bangladesh. Living alone in fear and not knowing where the next meal is coming from is the start of many a story, and one that all of our beneficiaries have been able to share.
Libraries Week
To mark #librariesweek we would like to introduce you to some of our bookworms who, when we took a visit to our school library today, were sitting in chairs, reading books, browsing the bookshelves, standing and chatting. We asked some of them what they thought about the library.
