Our Story
Our Story
I'm Syrah Anand, the founder of Share a Book a Day. My journey with this initiative began when I was just 8 years old. I accompanied my mother on a charitable trip to India, where she was involved in organizing heart surgeries. During our visit, we stopped by Chetan Vidya Mundir, a local school.
As an avid reader, it saddened me to see that this school lacked any books. Books have always been my passion and source of joy, and I couldn't bear the thought of children not having access to them. That's when I decided to take action. I started by sending some of my own books to the school. The impact was immediate and inspiring.
From that small gesture, Share a Book a Day grew. It became my mission to involve my community in donating books and supporting educational opportunities for children in need. Together, we've been able to make a real difference, one book at a time.

A Note From Our Founder
Hello everyone,
Welcome to Share a Book a Day! I am incredibly grateful and excited to have you join our mission to spread the joy of reading to children in need.
Share a Book a Day began with a simple yet powerful experience I had when I was just 8 years old. During a trip to India with my mother, who was involved in organizing life-saving heart surgeries, I visited Chetan Vidya Mundir, a school where I discovered a lack of books. As an avid reader myself, I couldn't bear the thought of children not having access to the wonderful world books open up.
Since then, Share a Book a Day has grown from sending my own books to Chetan Vidya Mundir to organizing community-wide book drives. It has been incredibly inspiring to see the impact we can make together.
I invite you to join us in this journey. Whether you donate books, participate in our events, or simply spread the word, your support means everything. Together, we can make sure every child has the opportunity to discover the magic of books and the joy of learning.
Thank you for being a part of Share a Book a Day. Together, let's make a difference, one book at a time.
Warm regards,
Syrah Anand
Founder, Share a Book a Day
