Surely Santa Claus will have brought a book to the kids in the house. But it remains to be seen what comes from the Magi. Our partners in Blank Paper have reminded us that the Steam Boat solidarity campaign is already underway, "It goes for you, it goes for everyone", in which for each book sold one will be given to children who are not so lucky.
The SM Foundation launches this solidarity campaign "Vapor ti, vapor todos" again at Christmas. For each book purchased from the Barco de Vapor collection until January 5, the SM Foundation will donate another copy to three non-profit organizations that promote child protection: SOS Children's Villages, Red Cross Spain and Messengers of the Peace. The Seur Foundation will be responsible for distributing the books for free.
Last year 'Steam you, steam all' He managed to collect more than 105,000 books that were then donated to about ninety children's hospitals in Spain.
This year we want to strengthen the reading presence in cases of risk and lack of protection of children: disadvantaged children, children from violent homes, social mediation centers ... everyone can enjoy the pleasure of reading.
The books will end up in the hands of children who are served in comprehensive programs that address the needs of minors and favor the protection of the most vulnerable. A nice initiative for children that summarizes Lines Carretero, director of Children and Youth Publications of Ediciones SM:
This Christmas, we want you to enjoy some leisure time, to smile and learn through reading, with an action that belongs to everyone and everyone.
We wish that the solidarity campaign that distributes books "Steam you, steam all" Get this year fill those vulnerable children with smiles that will surely appreciate the gift. And hopefully this type of initiatives will be extended to other publishers and other times of the year, because not only at Christmas is it time for solidarity.
