"Children’s early years of learning lay the foundation for all that is to come in their future learning and reading habits. We are pleased to have successfully completed a number of events to raise a donation that supports the noble cause," said Tariq Hilal al Barwani, Founder and President of knowledgeoman.com. The Dar al Atta’a Let’s Read Campaign, led by Jane Jaffer, has set up reading corners for children in hospitals, and supplements school libraries and community centres with books, computers and equipment.
The campaign also features a monthly book sale to raise funds for the project, with the children’s library being a central part, and is currently working to set up a mobile children’s library to further spread knowledge for children across the Sultanate. Jaffer, Project Manager of the Let’s Read Campaign, said, "We greatly appreciate the support of Knowledge Oman for contributing towards our Let’s Read projects to promote the love of reading to children in Oman.”
KnowledgeOman.com, established in April 2008, has grown with over 13,000 members reaching both the English and Arabic speaking community in the country. Knowledge Oman is committed to spreading knowledge and free education across the country through various projects and volunteer-driven initiatives.
