Room To Read
A more earnest proposal (than mine) to improve literacy comes from Arena who just sent an email about her friend John Wood. John left his job at Microsoft in 1998 to start Room to Read, a non-profit that helps impoverished nations to build schools, libraries, computer labs, and language labs.
His book Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, published by Harper Collins, will hit stores on Aug 29 and you can get the first chapter by sending an email to book at roomtoread.org with “Chapter 1″ in the subject line.
