A library in both Padua and Cannero Riviera Centers, filled with many new tactile picture books with black and Braille characters is the valuable “Pages for All” project that theBlue Flowers Association has chosen to tie in, this year, with the Easter campaign To benefit the Robert Hollman Foundation.
The goal is big: to put as many books as possible into the hands of children with visual impairment followed by the two Centers, so that reading stimulates knowledge of reality, unleashes imagination and makes new awareness and meanings grow within. But also so that books can be an effective vehicle for relationships between children and their parents and with everyone they come in contact with.
In the face of a minimum donation of 7 euros, you can pick up a 300-gram milk or dark chocolate egg or a 310-gram bag of milk and cereal eggs, available at the two Centers in Padua (Via Siena 1) and Cannero Riviera (Via O. Clerici 6).
Thanks to the donations that will be collected in exchange for milk or dark chocolate eggs or small bags of colorful milk and cereal eggs, the two Centers will be able to set up new shelves for all their children with the possibility of also requesting the loan of the books and books to continue the magical adventure of reading, even once they return home and have plenty of time to explore, alone or in company, the pages, their contents, dwelling on the details, words, shapes, colors…
In Cannero Riviera, the traditional Citrus Festival, which will take place from March 9 to 17, will give the Foundation the opportunity to promote the campaign inside Villa Laura on Saturday and Sunday afternoons (March 9 and 10, 16 and 17) from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., in conjunction with the multisensory workshops “Citrus in All Senses” for adults and children. Chocolate eggs and eggs will be available to all who wish to support the initiative.
A sweepstakes will also be held at the Padua Center, the prizes for which the Winning tickets will be drawn by the Astronred group on Thursday, March 21: first prize a 3 kg milk chocolate egg; second prize a 1.2 kg milk chocolate egg; and third prize a 500 gram milk chocolate egg.
You can receive colorful bags of eggs directly to your home with a minimum order of 20 pieces (shipping cost: 9.00 euros) by writing to [email protected] by Friday, March 15.
