Books, cash donated for library development across country
The Yangon Region Government held a ceremony
on 10 April at the Mingala Hall of the government office for the donation of
books and cash to support the development of libraries across Myanmar.
The video clip titled “Towards the Development
of Literature” was first shown. In his opening remark, the chief minister of
Yangon Region said: “ Literature is the soul of a race, and a race without
literature is like a body without a soul. Races with flourishing literature can
stand as dignified races. Developed and developing countries are constantly
working to promote the development of literature and knowledge. The government
is implementing a literacy project, as the literacy rate of rural people is poor.
Literacy benefits not only individuals but also the social, economic,
political, and cultural aspects of the community and the country. From
literacy, we must develop the habit of reading literature”.
Afterwards, Yangon Region Social Affairs
Minister U Htay Aung explained the development activities of libraries in the
region, and donors donated cash and books. — TWA/TH
