Summer is here, and I’m …
Summer is here, and I’m sure you’re looking forward to enjoying its glory. (I am!) But did you know that kids forget 1-3 months of learning during the summer? That’s 1-3 months of what they learned the year before, needing to be retaught in the fall before they can even start learning new material. This summer learning loss is worse in disadvantaged children, and widens the achievement gap further.
Summer learning programs are important to keep children’s brains active and engaged. Reader to Reader runs three summer programs, including one with both parents and children to increase family literacy. We have a lot of fun, and we learn A LOT!
Please help us keep summer learning fun and engaging for low-income families in western Massachusetts by joining our team, spreading the word and if you can, donating to Reader to Reader. Your support helps us keep kids reading, learning and succeeding!

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
