Members from the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation are displaying children’s books on the table. They are preparing a small book fair for patients at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in Saint Petersburg, FL, U.S.
Upon hearing the news of the book fair, many children who were in their hospital beds came with their parents. Looking at the books displayed on each table, their eyes sparkled with excitement. They picked out their favorite books and held them with bright smiles on their faces.
The WeLoveU members helped the children enjoy the book fair comfortably by selecting books suitable for their ages and reading storybooks to them. For children who couldn’t make it to the book fair, members personally visited their hospital rooms to gift them books.
“We’re working to normalize the daily lives of children who cannot go home or to school due to their stay in the hospital. This book fair held at the hospital provides a great assistance to the children.”
Dara, Child Life Specialist at Johns Hopkins Hospital
WeLoveU will continue to create a healthy tomorrow for children through various educational support initiatives tailored to each specific context.
P.S.
On September 6, the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation (Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah) donated 463 books to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and organized a small book fair at the hospital. This book donation is part of the “Closing the Homework Gap” project.
