Working with children in poor rural schools VDO found that they had poor vocabulary and imagination. This is possibly caused by the limited conditions of the education system and because children read almost nothing apart from school books. At home parents do not have books so they do not read to their children.
In 2005 in order to try to improve the situation, VDO created the CHILDRENS' LIBRARY. In 2010 the name change to AFET-VDO LIBRARY
The Library volunteers take the children’s storybooks to the schools and let children take it to their home for reading. The Library also organize reading sessions at the office for families. Reading contests and other activities are developed by volunteers.
This project is specially loved by children because they understand that is only for them. On the other hand, friends and supporters has become very good partners as they were also good readers when young and they want to give children the same opportunity they had.
