Results/Contributions (500 words)

The outcomes of this activity are multifaceted. Firstly, through the collection of English and Chinese picture books and storybooks, we have increased the collection of libraries and community centers in rural areas of Malaysia, allowing more children to access bilingual and diverse reading materials. Secondly, by recording storytelling podcasts and organizing storytelling events locally, we aim to spark children's interest in reading, enhance their language and comprehension skills, and promote community interaction and cultural sharing. These efforts not only establish a reading culture in rural areas but also stimulate children's creativity and imagination, bringing long-term impact to their growth and development while enriching the content and vibrancy of local communities.
