STM Lottery restarted its Sports Toto “Reading My Companion” Reading Programme to donate storybooks to the students of 11 Chinese primary schools in West Malaysia.<\/p>\n
The 2022 edition of Sports Toto “Reading My Companion” Reading Programme donated storybooks to 11 micro-sized Chinese primary schools in the rural areas of Perak, Pahang, Negri Sembilan,<\/p>\n
Melaka and Johor, benefitting a total of 1,586 students. As part of the STM Lottery’s Helping Hands programme, the reading programme is in line with the Goal 4 of the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals to \u201censure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all\u201d.<\/p>\n
The \u201cReading My Companion\u201d reading programme aims to inculcate reading as a pastime of choice for the rural students who are relatively lacking in terms of recreational choices.<\/p>\n
A team of staff volunteers visited the 11 participating schools beginning on 4 August 2022 and handed over the storybooks to the students.<\/p>\n
Apart from giving away storybooks to the students, STM Lottery also donated storybooks to the library of each participating school. A storytelling session was also held at the schools to teach the students to enjoy reading creatively.<\/p>\n
The schools played an active role in driving book exchange among the students as they were encouraged to share stories in class and pen down their post-reading thoughts in the journals.<\/p>\n
To encourage keen participation among the students, tokens of commendation had been arranged for 2 students who showed the highest level of participation, in each of the 11 participating schools.<\/p>\n
