I'm down to 12 days and I'm really excited but I'm hoping to raise more funds for Room to Read. Literacy is so important; I think we take it for granted here in the United States because so many of us have these skills. Most of our children begin reading at age 5 or 6. It's hard to imagine a society where the reverse situation is true...where many of the adults are not literate. I don't think I even fully appreciate what that looks and feels like.
What I'm hoping to do is provide hope. I want children to have a life full of opportunities. I want them to have choices. I want them to believe that they can make the future any way they want it to be, through hard work, perseverance and study.
The ability to read, write and access information is life-changing!
Please help me make a difference.
Any amount will help ($5).
