Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. — Kofi Annan
The main idea of our AMAL mega circle project is to instill the importance of book reading in the generation which will overtake the world after a few years.
Our motive is to motivate the non-readers of the younger generation of Pakistan and help them to increase their knowledge and make their vision broader by making them realize the importance of reading and our mission is to overcome the gap between readers and non-readers and install a new perspective in the lives of people to increase their creativity and brain growth by motivating them to read books.
First of all we conducted an online survey to have responses of the people which gave us the idea that how much percent of the people prefer reading books and how much of them do not. We were inclined towards the students who like ourselves were wasting time on social media, games and other frivolous activities to pass the time. Google forms were created to get to know the interests and what genre of books the students prefer; scaling was also included in the survey to find out how much of the people are motivated towards reading and how much of them not.
Creation of a reading awareness program among the non-readers so that they can become lifelong readers; through online sessions, We are creating pages on social media. regarding the awareness and we will be providing different reading opportunities. Provision of the motivation by comparing the non-readers with powerful readers.
The awareness sessions will be related to why reading is important and how to make the experience positive and what impact can that experience have on a person’s cognitive development. The session will focus on an introduction to the program, providing information on the importance of reading to people on a daily basis and encouraged them to make daily reading a priority. We will be making our session really productive and enjoyable by sharing some stories and experiences of real life. This is the world of social media and we are planning to make a Facebook page where we will have two main audiences readers and non-readers, for non-readers we will be inviting them to like our page and posting motivational quotes, telling stories that pull at their interests and emotions, sharing motivational videos, the link is attached so that they can become lifelong readers. For readers we will focus on providing the best books and reviews what they like, posting trending books their reviews, and engaging them by asking questions and will ensure that we will respond to everyone, encouraging them to share their responses as well.
Including the fun activities and a free online library, providing followers bundle of access and communication.
The challenges we are expecting are related to the short term activeness of people for reading, their low dedication towards reading, and in having the awareness sessions, not showing interests as this is the world of social media and technology. But we will be giving our best to eradicate the expected challenges.
