ที่มา/ความสำคัญโครงการ :

In mid 2556, our friends did an activity with female prisoners and saw a library was very deteriorated. Most books were very old and related to retribution, and some popular books were not in good shapes to read. One female prisoner also said: “I read every book here and have nothing left to read.”

With this circumstance, we got an idea to send books to prisons to create a lively library. After we started gathering used books from our friends on Facebook “books4prisoners”, focusing on good quality, various, and relaxing books, we have received very good feedbacks – as people wanted to open a new world to prisoners through an alphabet and imagination.

from donation in 2557

2.Organize activities to follow and evaluate

Our staff will follow how prisoners read in prison such as what genres of books

they like or do not like, a tendency of prisoners to use a library, a exchange of ideas derived from reading books among prisoners, and how they transfer things from reading to writing to develop the programme in the future and report to a supporter.

This activity will take place at 1-2 small prisons where prisoner can access to a library in the first 6 months (in a process of coordinating for a venue)
