In honour of International Refugee Day, here are a few recommended reads by our volunteer Wanessa Cardoso.
Did you know that each year on 20 June, the world celebrates World Refugee Day? “The international day to honour people who have been forced to flee. The idea is that together, we can champion their right to seek safety, build support for their economic and social inclusion, and advocate for solutions to their plight”. (Source: UNHCR).

Volunteer of the month – May 2023
Gaelle Paquet
We are delighted to announce our volunteer of the month for May 2023: Gaelle Paquet! Here’s a message from her:
“On my first day volunteering, I was surprised to find that a group of young children could make me so nervous. Though, it only took me a few minutes to realize how wonderful and curious they were. Throughout my volunteering, I have come to think that reading is an integral part of life, full of learning, and fun. So, I believe it is extremely important for kids to develop an interest in reading early on. By exposing them to books in a fun, informal way, the kids I work with have really developed a strong and long-lasting relationship with reading. This is why I think projects like minibiblioPLUS are so necessary.
Besides bringing me lots of fun time reading and playing with kids, my volunteering here has given me a new outlook on the link between education and entertainment. I truly value my work here and I think that seeing the kids’ faces light up each time they see me and the books is one of the most priceless feelings ever.”
