Shinhan Finance contributes children books to Hai Phong City Library and Quang Ninh Province Library

Now at its fifth consecutive year encouraging active reading for children under the theme “Fulfil Your Dreams And Happiness”, Shinhan Finance has donated 50 new bookshelves to 10 public libraries in need of more books for their local children.

Hai Phong City and Quang Ninh Province, 25 November 2022 – Shinhan Vietnam Finance Company Ltd., (Shinhan Finance), which was recognized and named The Best Sustainability Development Company Vietnam 2020*, announced its book project which contributed 1481 new children books from Kim Dong Publisher - the largest publisher and distributor of children's books in Vietnam to Hai Phong city library and Quang Ninh province library, which are in need of better-quality books.

To date, the Project has been to 10 libraries across Vietnam, donated 49 new bookshelves with nearly 20.000 books and decorated 10 reading rooms, including Nam Dinh, Thua Thien Hue, Bac Giang, Tien Giang, Ha Nam, Hanoi, Dong Nai, An Giang, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh public libraries.

In the fifth consecutive year of this project themed “Fulfil Your Dreams And Happiness”, which is extended to promote active reading among Vietnamese children, it continues to support the company’s commitment to advocate literacy and a reading culture to better equip the future generation.

In Vietnam, children are keen to read textbooks for academic reasons than reading books outside the school syllabus. The importance of enhancing the accessibility of books in the public libraries and providing a variety of contents are often highlighted to promote active reading as a powerful tool to encourage children to pick up and finish a book themselves.

“We are honored to run this children book project for the third consecutive year to inspire a passion for literacy and a commitment to spreading the message of how books can be influential in a child’s life,” said Mr. Oh TaeJoon, CEO of Shinhan Finance Vietnam. “Through this initiative, we aim to encourage active reading which plants seeds for active learning and to help more local children “Fulfil Your Dreams and Happiness” by enhancing their access to the very best children books. After Nam Dinh, Thua Thien Hue, Bac Giang, Tien Giang, Ha Nam, Hanoi, Dong Nai, An giang, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh are the nineth and tenth locations we invested in more good books for Vietnamese children. We are still on the way to bring this up nationwide.”

“On behalf of our library management team, I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to Shinhan Finance for this book project. We are humbled by your thoughtfulness toward our children. Kindly know that you have provided our local young generation a rich resource for developing successful habits for reading, school, and life,” said Mr. Vu Van Tuan, Director of Hai Phong Library.

Mr. Pham Van Trien – Deputy Director of Quang Ninh Library shared “I am very proud to join with Shinhan Finance as a part of this book project “Fulfil Your Dreams And Happiness” at Quang Ninh library. I hope with the diverse book sources donated by Shinhan Finance will help us encourage the local children to form their necessary reading habit, studying and self-developing skills.”
