We formed our project committee on 23 August and had our first project meeting on 4 September. 

The collected books at NUS were stored temporarily in the Medical Society office and were later transported to Bishan Community Club.

We distributed over 2,000 brochures to the residents of Bishan East and North to inform them of our book collection drive.

We collected nearly 600 books and magazines at the end of the collection drive. They will be stored at Bishan Community Club till our exploratory trips to Myanmar and Cambodia at the end of the year.
