Training is well underway for some 5 volunteers who have committed to take part in this collaborative project. Esther, Jennifer, Steve, Selina and Cristina at YWAGV are looking forward to working together in preparation for recruiting human/living books as well as more volunteers. We will also be doing some publicity to generate interest from beneficiaries that is, the young people who will be using the library by borrowing human books for the purpose of learning about different cultures, backgrounds, achievements that they are otherwise exposed to.
The training is spread over 3 evenings initially however ongoing support will be available for volunteers and beneficiaries as and when required. Taking place in the east of London where YWAGV is based, the actual project will be spread across other cities as more volunteers get involved.
We will shortly follow-up with an update on the new learnings for current volunteers. Watch the space and get involved by writing a comment or sharing your thoughts.
