Sikhs donates book sunder SATL program
WSN Network
NEW YORK:
United
Sikhs has donated 30 books on Sikhism to the Hercules Library in
California under its Sikh Awareness Through Libraries (SATL)
programme.
"We greatly
appreciate United Sikhs for bringing these valuable materials to our
libraries," Elliot Warren, Senior Community Library Manager, said
while receiving the books.
"It will help
bring communities together." SATL, as part of United Sikhs'
Education and Empowerment initiative, aims to improve the
availability of information on Sikh culture, history and religion
via multimedia resources - books, DVDs, CDs and microfilms. Under
the SATL project, donors order books on the list of recommended
books and resources. These are then donated to libraries of the
donor's choice, including those in schools, universities and other
educational institutions, throughout the world. The objective, the
organization said, is to reach out to various demographics through
multiple media to provide global access to reliable and complete
information on Sikhs.
Donor of the
books Amrik Singh said: "If everyone can join together to raise
awareness on who Sikhs are, perhaps we can reduce bias and hate
crimes on innocent people.”
