WHO
WE ARE?
Bookwallah has a simple story that grew from an idea and a passion. Founder Seena Jacob conceived the idea of Bookwallah Organization in late 2009 while doing some soul searching. As a child, reading stories in US libraries helped her get over through hardship in her own life and she wanted to share that incredible power with other children of trauma.
Partnering with her two Founding Board of Directors, G Riley Mills and Ranjeet Nambiar, the organization was incorporated in 2010.
WHAT
DO WE DO?
Bookwallah is a 501 c (3) non-profit organization helping children of trauma make a positive shift in their psychological consciousness through the power ofstories.
But why stories? Because research studies have consistently indicated that it is possible to untangle children from trauma by unleashing their imagination. We use stories as a gateway to help them imagine and enter a world where they are masters of their own destiny. The power ofstories helps to open up their minds and jumpstart the healing process by giving them the confidence to imagine an alternate, positive reality. Our process incorporates building of safe spaces like libraries with story books in orphanages across developing countries like India,
Ghana etc. Our teams of volunteers read stories and interact with children through discussions. After the stories have been read out, our children are encouraged to discuss and talk about their feelings in relation to the stories. Meanwhile, our trained psychologists track the progress of each child across various parameters to determine how well the child is progressing in their healing process.
