Big Bad Wolf awards 7 topranked O/L students with books

The Big Bad Wolf once again embarked on their CSR initiative of donating brand-new English books to school students alongside the Ministry of Education of Sri Lanka.

This year, seven of the island’s best achievers from the GCE O/L 2017 exams were given the opportunity to fill a special Big Bad Wolf Box with books of their choice.

In line with their objective of advocating English literacy in countries where English is not the first language, the Big Bad Wolf strives to continuously make affordable books accessible to everyone.

“What we are doing is to provide an opportunity of a lifetime to these children to gain access to new, good quality English books. They are given the chance to pick any books they like and we hope that through this we are able to encourage them to read more and develop an inquisitive mind to dream big,” shared Proread Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd Director Nishan Wasalathanthri (Big bad Wolf Books’ local partner).

The seven students were invited by Big Bad Wolf Book Sale organisers and were rewarded with this opportunity ceremoniously. The students were accompanied by representatives from their respective schools as well as family members.

This year, there has been an interesting shift in the crowd. More parents with children were seen, eagerly selecting children’s books that is suitable for their little ones. The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is known to have an assortment of quality children’s books. Parents are able to find interactive books, activity books, story books, and more. The books that are available at the sale have been carefully selected to help in the learning process through the child’s development.

With a book sale of this calibre, the organisers have made sure to make improvements along with the iconic feature of keeping the sale going for 24 hours, non-stop, until the end of the sale. This aspect of the sale is also an advantage to those who find it difficult to drop by during the weekdays due to work commitments or school for example. The payment queue management has improved which helps customers to experience a swift payment service.

The Big Bad Wolf sale was successfully concluded on July 8, 2018 at 11:59p.m..
