        Meet Yawen

        Yawen's radiant joy as she selected a bag of free books at her neighborhood event speaks volumes! TFBB's presence at community events in under-resourced neighborhoods ensures children like Yawen enjoy equal access to age-appropriate books. Empowering them to choose books for their homes not only fosters more frequent reading but also lays the groundwork for a successful education, opening doors to future life opportunities.
