Thank you to Senjy for compiling the list, and to everyone for all their hard work (and great fun) writing and drawing.
The donation has been made to Room to Read. They gave me a link to their downloadable "In Honor Of" gift cards in pdf format, so if anyone wants to download one, here's the link:
Thank you for your generous contribution in support of Room to Read!
Your donation will help us provide educational opportunity to millions of children in the developing world. Since 2000, we have published 226 local language children's titles, established over 5,100 libraries, worked with local villages to build 442 schools, funded 155 computer and language labs, and provided 4,036 girls with long-term scholarships through secondary school. At Room to Read, we believe that there is no more valuable investment than the gift of education and the life change it can provide.
We focus our activities in 8 countries, all with a desperate lack of educational resources: Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, South Africa, and Zambia. Thanks to the support of donors like you, we have been able to reach over 1.7 million of these children through our educational programs. We take our role as stewards of your gift extremely seriously and work hard to ensure that, as of year end 2007, 86% of every donation goes directly to our programs and those that need it most.
With your support, we will continue to scale and reach out to more communities providing educational access and opportunity. It is our goal to establish a library in 13,000 villages by the year 2010 reaching 5 million children. With your help, we will celebrate reaching this milestone together. Thank you for joining us on this inspiring journey to provide the lifelong gift of education to millions of children in the developing world!
