During one of the CRG meetings at GGES Abul Khair, parents shared how developing an interest in reading is helping their kids to solve daily life problems. Khadija reads in class 4^th in Abul Khair school; her mother shared that Khadija loves to read books and she reads them with keen interest. In her words, “Khadija often refers to story book characters in her daily life and talks about them with her friends and family”. She further shared that during a family visit, her cousins started fighting during a cricket match. She was the one who stood up and stopped them from fighting by sharing the story of “Annu Kahla” book which she read in the library. The whole family is proud of Khadija.

 Her mother shared, “I did not expect the storybooks to have so much impact on our Childrens’ lives”. Now Khadija’s mother regularly participates in the CRG meetings and check out books for her kids, inspiring others to do the same for the children.
