Taking heart
Donate your old textbooks
IF your pre-loved textbooks are collecting dust in a corner, consider donating them to less fortunate students via NTUC FairPrice's Share-A-Textbook Project. This year, FairPrice aims to collect 400,000 school textbooks that are still in good condition - an increase of about 5 per cent from last year. About 20,000 students have been registered under the priority student scheme, and will get to pick from the donated textbooks first. All FairPrice and FairPrice Finest supermarkets, FairPrice Xtra hypermarkets, and FairPrice Xpress convenience stores will serve as collection centres until Dec 7.
