People are urged to donate library books

The organizers of a UK-based charity are urging people to donate books and supplies to help with the provision of libraries in schools and orphanages in poor regions of China.

The Books for Kids project was put together by charity Mothers' Bridge of Love. One of the charity's aims is to help bridge China's poverty gap.

Since MBL was set up in 2004, the group has built 22 school libraries in rural areas of China and supported children from Tibetan, Muslim and migrant communities, as well as those affected by earthquakes in 2008 and 2012 in mountainous parts of Sichuan province.
