Reading is known as a powerful tool for healing as it helps the mind find its peaceful place. Aside from providing information, books motivate, inspire, and give a vision of human strength.
It can be remembered that the five-month-long siege in Marawi affected thousands of children’s lives. Some schools were destroyed; children no longer have access to education and can’t afford basic learning materials like books and school supplies.
In a bid to help restore the peace of mind of children whose lives have been disrupted due to last year’s armed conflict, the SM Store, and SM Stationery invite shoppers to give these kids the gift of reading with the Donate-a-Book campaign.
Shoppers may donate new or pre-loved books and brand new school supplies at the booths set up in all The SM Store branches nationwide from today until June 30.
Each donation entitles a customer with a P50 discount coupon which can be redeemed for every minimum P500 single-receipt purchase on regular-priced items from the SM Stationery at The SM Store.
