? ? This year of the pandemic -has not exactly been a fun year but we are hopeful that things will continue to improve. As we head for the festive season, time to get stocked up on meaningful gifts. The READ Educational Trust (an NGO, established in 1979) promotes education and literacy –getting books to youngsters, teacher training and fast tracking outreach literacy programmes in South Africa- with special attention on communities which do not have the resources and where there is an urgent need for books and education. READ’s online shop is an important platform for fundraising and for the festive season 2020, the shop is stocked with an awesome array of gifts – which are sure to bring a smile to any bibliophile. Shop at READ and you will be supporting an excellent initiative – a vital project. In a year when so many schools have been shut down, 2021 is going to be a time when READ is going to be busy, getting reading back on track.

TheCapeRobyn hot picks: The mug (which is part of a gift set – two options) is very cool –“Reading is dreaming with your eyes open” and “Live a little, comfort a little, cheer thyself a little – Shakespeare”. Both sets are accompanied by an engraved teaspoon. A wonderful gift to get the family reading together, is the Read Aloud Magic Box – R1 525. There are three boxes – suiting different ages. Each set includes 12 colourful and beautifully designed books “with adventure-filled stories set in Africa.” The stories “revolve around children and animals discovering the world in which they live.”

Each online purchase made on The Read Shop contributes 100% towards literacy programmes in South Africa. Brilliant! Delivery charges vary depending on area. Varies by courier, according to area or click and collect option, from the READ offices in Ormonde, Gauteng.
