I read Nancy Drew books as a young girl and recently began collecting my old books back. I’m even buying them for my granddaughters to encourage them to read actual books and stress to take care of them. I even did my A to Z last year on Nancy Drew. My A to Z this year is at…. https://everyonehasafamilystorytotell.wordpress.com/2019/04/10/2019-i-a-to-z-italian-famiglia-foods-and-memories-icebox-cake/
Great, will check 🙂 Thankyou
Good idea to educate others and spread smiles 👌👌👌🤩
Thankyou so much 🙂
Very nice platform to share and spread goodness. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou so much 🙂
When I was in school Loretto Calcutta had this campaign “each one teach one” and I remember quite a few of us would volunteer to teach… What a noble cause
Yes, Thankyou so much 🙂
Best idea so far…the books are always precious and needs to handled with care
Thankyou so much 🙂
Such a beautiful thought and noble execution. Proud of this little girl Rashi and her parents. Today that girl is bringing others stories of goodness to the world.
How sweet 🙂 Thanks for making me smile 🙂
Absolutely. Rather than selling the books to a kabbadi, one should give them to someone who really needs them.
Yes, Thankyou so much 🙂
Thank you for sharing your goodness in such a beautiful manner. 😊🌷
Thankyou so much 🙂
That’s fantastic. I continue to donate books even now, though of course they are no longer academic 🙂
Yes, that’s the whole idea 🙂
Yes donating used books is a good act. Many students cannot afford to buy books. Given the price of books, donating books will be of great help to the needy. When many of us were growing up, we would study used books of our elder brothers or sister. These days many buy new books.
True, we used to pass on our books to siblings or friends while we were in school. But the education system has changed entirely. Now in most of the schools, we are bound to get new books for our kids. The joy of sharing is missing.
Exactly, the joy of sharing is missing.
Yes, things have changed these days. I hope we continue to donate books and spread education.
Donating academic books is out of the question these days as every year they change the syllabus and its mandatory to buy all the books from the school only. However, I still donate many competitive and story books which I no longer read. Kudos to this little girl.
I agree it’s not so easy these days. Education has become a business and it’s sad. Thanks from the little girl!
So little Rashi has grown up now…
Good to about your parents, yes we (both me and my sister) have helped lots of students providing our books.
That’s so nice to hear 🙂
That reminds me of an incident in my daughter’s school. The class teacher told the children to bring some of their books that they had no use for anymore so that they could be donated to some poor people. My wife pulled out all my daughter’s old books she no longer read and packed them neatly and sent it with my daughter. To the teacher’s shock, she found that only our family and one more student’s parents had bothered to donate any books at all. Al the other parents were unwilling to donate! Obviously, the teacher was annoyed but since it is the student’s choice there was nothing much she could say. But she called my wife up later and thanked us profusely.
Glad you did. I don’t understand why some people hesitate.
NIce.. And congratulations for your smile gifters badge….
Thankyou so much 🙂
That’s such a noble gesture and the best teaching from your parents dear
Thankyou so much 🙂
Donating books to the underprivileged is the best deed ever. Was that girl you?
Yes! Thankyou 🙂
Lovely story. My parents never allowed us to sell any books. They always donated.
Nice of you to write yourself in 3rd person.

Glad you liked it 🙂 Thanks
My mom used to do the same. She was a teacher in the same school I was learning. My books were given to other students hence I used to keep them neat. It’s a great habit to develop in kids.
Yes, I’ll teach the same to my kids.
Oh yes, old school books should always be donated as far as possible. Absolutely no point in selling them to kabadi waala, for making those cone-shaped thongas for chana-jor-garam and bhelpuri!
We have an organization here in Jaipur that houses and cares for autistic people of all age groups. They even make best-out-of-waste products, like shopping bags etc, you know, out of old fabrics.
I got to know about them couple of years ago from a friend in the building. So we sent a lot of clothes and other stuff to that institute. Now we have accumulated enough to send another round. Hopefully after this AtoZ.

That’s really wonderful.
A wonderful idea Rashi by your parents
Thankyou 🙂
its a beautiful post. I read books for the kids in my society and love when they ask questions
How nice to hear that 🙂
Another instance where giving gives more joy than receiving . So nice of you and your parents to do this, Rashi.
Thankyou so much for appreciating 🙂
I’ve never wrote in a book since leaving college – it feels wrong even signing my own for readers lol
