Bookfeeding
(UK, SC046248) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, SC046248) Bookfeeding Project is a non-profit organization aimed at shipping second-hand books and re-usable educational material to communities in need.We refurbish educational facilities in cooperation with local NGOs and organizations as part of already existing projects, but we also build libraries as independent projects. The initiatives aim at being self-sustainable, environmentally friendly and at creating fruitful and long-lasting projects that can create revenue to maintain the educational facility in good conditions and support the costs related to it. If you have any unwanted books you can send them directly to one of our libraries, drop them off at one of our collection points, or even bring them with you when visiting one of our projects. We are on a mission to prompt a conscious involvement in volunteering experiences. We want people to realize first the challenges of their own society before embarking in a project abroad, and to be fully aware of the environment they are going to work in. Volunteers are welcome to contribute either in their home country or to join the projects in field. In this case, they are asked to bring in their unique human skills and ideas to the projects. We believe in small fundraise, and huge impact through a conscious contribution. This is possible, are you in?

Story of the Library The Library is named after Dr Alfred Wiener, a German Jew who after the First World War began to fight against the surge of antisemitism in Germany. In 1933, Dr Wiener and his family fled to Amsterdam where he established the Jewish Central Information Office, which collected information with the purpose of revealing the true nature of events in the Third Reich. In 1939 the JCIO was transferred to London, and throughout the Second World War Allied Governments as well as the BBC made extensive use of its collection, which was increasingly referred to as ‘Dr Wiener's Library'. After the war, the Library provided critical evidence to the Nuremberg Trials and later to the Eichmann Trial, and became a key source of information for survivors attempting to trace their families. Today, the Library’s collection continues to grow with more items added every year, including materials on other genocides such as Rwanda and Darfur. The Wiener Library is open to the public five days a week free of charge. Read more about our work and our history at www.wienerlibrary.co.uk
