Library Project

October 2023
Macaron Laboratory in collaboration with Cornerstone helped build a library and hosted a Halloween party in a single family home in Adachi Ku, Tokyo last month. 

We started this project well in advance and began with meetings to understand the objectives, planned our tasks and executed a plan on the day of our visit to the home.

We began by raising awareness of our project via our Instagram account and gathering donations of books and products via an amazon wishlist. Not only did we receive product donations, we raised about 100,000 yen via our macarons and purchased furniture and other materials we needed for the library and Halloween party with these funds. 

On October 22nd, Macaron Laboratory was busy building shelves, setting up books and preparing food and activities for the party to kick off the new library. The day was filled with a lot of laughter, as approximately 60 kids and parents came by to enjoy the party.   Everyone enjoyed yakisoba and pancakes prepared by the volunteers. The children enjoyed the activities that we prepared such as origami, jewelry making, coloring and games. 

​Macaron Laboratory also took a tour of the facility and learned about how this particular single family home operates.   We learned about how homes like this are beneficial to families who need a helping hand.  Ultimately, we hope the library and books will bring joy to the children there.

Thank you to everyone for supporting our project and all of the donations. Together, we can make a difference one macaron at a time!
