Room to Read

Last year I read the book about John Wood and his Odyssey to Educate the World's Children. It was a fascinating read, and I encourage you to read it.

I often think about what I would do if I could do one thing to change the world. John's account is a real life version of that dream.

There is much written about John Wood and what he is accomplishing. He has been featured in many magazines and articles, and I hear Oprah has "sanctioned" him. Read one of the many articles here: http://www.edutopia.org/global-education-room-to-readhttp://www.leavingmicrosoftbook.com/faq.html

Reading is such a valuable gift. I've been a voracious reader all my life. I can't imagine where my life would be without books. So, I'm going to do something to give the gift of books to others. My goal this month is to support ROOM TO READ, and I encourage you to do the same. Check out http://www.roomtoread.org/
