"Reading is Fundamental"

Most of us may know this saying. Reading is important around the world. It is a skill that will prepare young students for a better life. The ability to read provides a sense of self-worth, a tool to ensure the ability to learn or to work, the ability to entertain one-self as well as others. Most importantly reading affords each one of us the ability to share views and thoughts with citizens across the globe.

Please join the Columbia Alumni Association of Beijing together with media co-sponsor Agenda magazine for a special family fund-raising brunch at the new Kro's Nest with great pizza, beverages, raffle prize draws with The Library Project, our featured charity for 2011.

 

Our Goal

Each Library costs roughly 10,000 CNY. Our goal on April 17th is to raise enough funds to donate one library in the Hebei Province. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Japanese Red Cross to support relief efforts in Japan caused by the earthquake and tsunami.
