I. Rationale of the Program

We always see some articles or posts in online platforms that reading books can reduce

stress and gives different kind of peace of mind and relaxation. It can also exercise people's mind

from a long sleep. Reading does hold many advantages aside from giving relaxation and reduces

stress but it is a great way of escaping the reality that might be causing people to feel stress,

depression and anxiety. You can also gain vocabulary expansion and enhances your knowledge

as well.

One thing that you can also considered as a good thing is it is not only for the adults or

teenagers but it is also open for the kids whose age is above six years old. They can participate in

the activities or sessions prepared in this project and read their favorite fairy tale or children's

books. This project also warmly welcomes the senior citizens who have reached fifty years of

their age and also for those students/nonstudents who have taken reading as a hobby..

I choose the area of [specify one barangay or place] where this project will be held

because many people who lives in this place lost interests in doing anything. Through

participating in this project, their minds will be active again as many adults, young adults,

teenagers and even children will join. Implementing this project will be a good boost for the

mental health of the people.

II. Objectives

• To have peace of mind through reading.

• To exercise the minds of the people.

• To relax people's minds from stress and problems.

• To strengthen the comprehension ability.

III. Target Population

The Book Club Project's target participants are seniors, adults, young adults, teenagers and

kids. In short, this is open for all, regardless of the gender or sexuality, may it be male or female

or unidentified sexuality. The number of target participants is minimum of 50 persons per day.

IV. Methodology

First, we will write a letter addressed to Mayor Mohammad Juhar Dimaporo Disomimba,

the Municapal Mayor of Tamparan, regarding this project proposal. We'll ask for his free time so

he could meet us and we could discuss the aim and goal of this project with him and what is the

significance or importance of this to be implemented in the selected area.

1. Story Reading: They will all gather around to listen for some stories. Anyone can

volunteer to do the story reading to the people. It is a good exercise of the mind for the

person to share their favorite stories to others.

2. Writing Own Stories/Poems: Some people, especially students, will gladly participate

in this activity to enhance their writing skills and let their imaginations and creativity out.

They might also discover their hidden talents that they didn't expect.

3. Reading Sessions: This is just for the kids above five years of age. This is to help them

read and learn some new words in advance

V. Duration

This project will be implemented in April 28, 2023. It will last until 5 days and if it shows

effectiveness to the people's mental health in the community, another 5 days will be added. The
book club will be open from 9:30 in the morning to 5:30 PM. Everyday, the participants will

have to join these activities: (1) Story Reading; (2) Writing Own Stories / Poems for Fun; and (3)

Reading Sessions for the Kids.
