Turning Pages Toward a Brighter Future: BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi Students Share the Joy of Reading with MNC Peduli

Education is not only about learning within the classroom, it is also about cultivating empathy, compassion, and a sense of responsibility toward the community. Recently, our students put these values into action through a remarkable initiative: donating thousands of books to those in need, in collaboration with MNC Peduli.

Books are more than just printed pages; they are windows to knowledge, imagination, and opportunity. For many children, however, access to quality reading materials remains a challenge. With this heartfelt donation, BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi students are helping to bridge that gap, sharing not only books but also the gift of hope, curiosity, and lifelong learning.

This initiative began as a simple yet powerful idea: to give back by sharing something meaningful. Through the efforts of our students, guided by teachers and supported by parents, the project grew into a collective movement. Every book donated carried with it a story, not only of the author who wrote it but also of the young BINUSIAN who chose to pass it on to someone else in the spirit of kindness.

The collaboration with MNC Peduli ensured that these books would reach communities where they are most needed, amplifying the impact of the students’ generosity. Together, this partnership highlights the importance of unity and cooperation in building a more caring and educated society.

More than a donation, this initiative is a lesson in empathy. It teaches students that their actions, no matter how small, can create meaningful change. It also reminds them that education is not just about individual success, but about lifting others up and ensuring that everyone has the chance to learn and grow.

We are proud of our students who continue to embody the school’s vision and values. Their compassion and initiative show us all that the future is brighter when we share knowledge and kindness.

With every book donated, our BINUSIANS are helping to turn pages toward a more hopeful tomorrow.
