STREET PROVIDENCE GOA launches our 1st KNOWLEDGE BANK ( library , Where one drop and pick books ) at Chogm Road , Sangolda, Goa. 
Today we installed and inaugurated one of its kind in Goa , on a trial basis , a cupboard where one can drop books , novels etc or one can pick something to read from this cupboard. 
BORROW , READ , RETURN 
♡♡ Thanks to BOOKWORM library,  from Panjim who have supported this unique idea of trying to create a reading habit in Goa . 
♡♡ Mr Oscar Braganza , Founder Trustee of BookWorm , was kind enough to cut the ribbon today and share his views on how this project at grass root level can reignite the passion for reading especially for children. 
Also present was Mr Frederick Noronha ( RICO ) from Saligao who himself being a writer and a book lover, is a good friend of mine for over 3 decades. 
Attached a 3 min video of their views and how they feel this project can be taken forward. 👇

We @  Street Providence are looking to install many such cupboards across Goa to encourage the reading habit . 
We will provide the Cupboard and the books . 
We are not paying any rent or any other charges. 
This Cupboard is open 9 am to 6 pm daily . 
Please don't donate more than 3 books per time as the Cupboard is small and we are very new to such a project . 
Understand that we might have alot of books at our homes but this is not that last stop to get rid of all books at one time . 
If you can come with your books with an appointment it will be really wonderful by whatsapp me on 8380097564. 
♡♡ Thanks to the Village Panchayat Sangolda and my ward member for supporting this Cupboard as its for a social cause . 
This project is primarily started to encourage all our 100 + homeless street people in our shelter homes who 80% are suffering from disabilities to read something or atleast turn the pages and refresh the mind . 
I Being a Marketing student from X.I.M Mumbai in my younger days,  has started and will start many projects based on
BACKWARD & FORWARD INTEGRATION.
