Hi Glen, October vote for yo…
Hi Glen,


October vote for you, just in time for Halloween! Wanna hear something scary? Children in low-income neighborhoods have access to only one age-appropriate book on average for every 300 children. Only ONE book! That impacts over 16,400,000 children in the United States.



Even more frightening, 80% of preschool and after-school programs serving low-income populations have no age-appropriate books for their children. Books are so important to a child’s development for learning, imagination and literacy.



Please help Reader to Reader get books into these communities. We donate hundreds of thousands of books each year directly to schools, after-school programs, classrooms, day care programs and other groups serving low-income children across the country. Your donation of $10 today will help us send a box full of much-needed books to6 children that deserve better.
Thanks for all your support, and spread the word!


Happy reading,
Kat (and the Reader to Reader team)

August vote for you! Did you know that 60% of low-income children do not own a single book? School and public libraries are their only source of reading material, yet budget cuts leave many libraries unable to buy new books, or even without a full-time librarian. Reading is so important to a kid's education. Would you help Reader to Reader bring books to low-income schools and libraries across the country? A $10 donation sends a much-needed box of books. If you can't give, please join our team and ask others to help change the world, one book at a time. Thank you!

Stuff About Me:
Hello there friends

My name is Glen and thanks for visiting my Crowdrise page.

This is an opportunity to all come together and do something meaningful for others.

Last year I was in Kenya and had a fantastic experience. I spent the whole time with the Maasai people of the Kuku community in the Chyulu Hills. They opened their hearts and home to me and showed me all the wonders of their intense lifestyle and beautiful landscape. They introduced me to the wonderful effort they are making to preserve both their environment and their culture.

I want to do something to help their effort and I need your help.

Please check out my project listed below and help me get these wonderful Maasai people a truck that they desperately need to support their work.

I've been touring around playing the Swell Season's new record. We are going to be playing a few upcoming benefit shows to help raise funds for the truck and also awareness for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which my friend Edward Norton is involved with.

Please check it all out.

Giving feels good. Join me.

Thanks

Glen
