Open Your Heart, Donate a Book

It has been nine years, since the Trenčín Foundation turned with good faith towards the citizens and also visitors of Trenčín with the project Open Your Heart, Donate a Book for the first time. Children’s books, that anonymous donors could purchase in four of Trenčín’s bookstores, were addressed to children from families finding themselves in temporary or long term social distress. The donors were aplenty. Many of them return to the bookstores each year and with children of their own, they pick a christmas book for an unknown child.

This year, we invite you again to fulfill together both the idea of donorship and also the children’s dreams of fairy tales, life stories and fantasies, that only a book can provide. On the counters of five bookstores, there are 237 book showcased, intended for 237 children, that would not find a book under the Christmas tree without your support. We believe, that their wishes will come true.

Also, don’t forget the „Small Christmas Mail“. There may be a child in your neighbourhood that you know of, that strives just as „our children“, and he or she would be pleased by a gift of a book. Simply choose a book from the offer in the bookstore, ask for return card, write in the required data and put the return card in the book. After the purchase, the employees of the bookstore will set the book aside and the Trenčín Foundation will deliver it straight into the hands of the child.

You can purchase the books from 1st to 18th December in these bookstores in Trenčín
