The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP), East Region,(which\u00a0covers Dublin, Kildare & Wicklow) is asking for people who received gift\u00a0vouchers for books\u00a0at Christmas to donate the vouchers to SVP or purchase children\u2019s books with the vouchers and donate them to the Society.<\/p>\n
The books will be provided by SVP to children\u00a0in the families they visit in the Society's East region as part of a project in the region called WordPower.<\/p>\n
WordPower is based on the\u00a0concept that\u00a0having more books at home when growing up, even if you\u00a0don\u2019t necessarily read more,\u00a0improves educational outcomes. The books can be for babies, children, pre-teens and young\u00a0adults and are for families to keep and share with others in their family or\u00a0community.<\/p>\n
