At the Hong Kong Book Fair every year, the SHKP Reading Club sponsors students to visit the fair through the Read to Dream programme. This year, about 1,200 students participated in the event. In addition to free transportation and meals, each student will be given an allowance of $250 to purchase their favourite books, accompanied by SHKP volunteers. So far, the programme has benefited more than 28,000 underprivileged students from Primary 4 to Secondary 3.
SHKPNews interviewed two of the volunteers, Kyle and Michelle, as well as Yan-tong and Yee-man from PLK Fong Wong Kam Chuen Primary School in Tuen Mun, who visited the Book Fair together. What types of books do the two girls like? What strategy do they use to make the best use of the allowance? Watch the short video for their answers!
