Giving children Room to Read
3 Jul
Room to Read was founded 10 years ago by John Wood a former Microsoft executive who while on holiday in Nepal came across a school library without any books for the children to read. Within a year he had left his job and begun to set about changing the world by helping to educate children in developing countries.
So how does giving up your coffee help to educate children in the developing world?
$3 buys three local language books in countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, India, Zambia and Cambodia.
That’s a book in the hands of three more children who deserve to have the opportunities that we all take for granted. All for the price of a latte.
