Will You Help Room to Read?

Have you read "Leaving Microsoft to Change the World?" Do yourself (and the world...) a favor and buy a copy. John Wood writes about working for Microsoft and feeling there's a better way. Boy, I could relate from page one. When I finished, I couldn't stop thinking about how very little it takes to make a huge difference.

Room to Read partners with local communities throughout the developing world to establish schools, libraries, and other educational infrastructures all around the world.

I've donated $250 to grease the wheels and I hope you can help. I'm reaching out to see if we as a community can raise $8,000 to build a library in Cambodia. It takes so little to make such a big difference. $250 will send a child to school for a whole year! If I can find 400 people willing to donate $20, we could have the funds raised for Cambodia before Christmas.

If you'd like to help, please go to my website www.sarahspencersolutions.com and click on "Vermont Helps Room to Read." They've set up an individual fund for us to contribute to. It's easy, just click on the secure hyper link, make your donation and I'll keep you updated as to the progress of our fund on this blog.

Please give a gift that will have a lifetime affect on our world.
