READY, SET, GO!

What a marvellous turnout for Books 4 PNG Kids’ packing day on Saturday!

It was heartening to see so many new faces along with all of our regular Books 4 PNG Kids volunteers.

The day was a great success and a tribute to each and every person who played a part, with a grand total of 720 cartons of books - 10 pallets of books - packed and ready to go to PNG schools.

A shout-out also to Stationery Aid’s Alison and Jan Schutt and team and other generous book donors including schools, community groups, libraries, publishers and individuals.

Pictured with a van full of books donated by several schools and others last Friday are Books 4 PNG Kids CEO Heather Doonan with volunteers Georgina and Catherine.

Students from years 10-12 at Carinity Education Southside set the pace on Friday when they volunteered at Books 4 PNG Kids and packed two pallets of books - a great team effort and a tribute to each student’s hard work and focus.

Thank you to each and every one!

Books4PNGKids is proudly supported by Kayop, an initiative of MD and owner Maino Lucas, helping books reach children and communities across Papua New Guinea.

From Australia to PNG, every box of books takes planning, storage, sorting, packing, transport and teamwork. Kayop’s support helps make that journey possible.

Together, we are helping books reach children who may not otherwise have easy access to reading materials — opening minds, building confidence and creating brighter futures.

Thank you, Kayop, for your generosity, partnership and belief in children’s literacy in PNG.

Books open minds. Opportunities change lives.
