I'm a Proud Ambassador for LitWorld's World Read Aloud Day

Yes! It is official. I'm helping with a charity that is doing amazing things to improve literacy in the United States and Worldwide!

World Read Aloud Day - March 7, 2012


I will be setting up an event in Billings, Montana to promote World Read Aloud Day and do some fundraising. My goal is to raise at least $100 for Litworld. The ambassador who raises the most money will be honored at LitWorld's Gala in May of 2012. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I ordered 250 bookmarks to celebrate World Read Aloud Day.


Helping this growing organization meet it's goals is very exciting.

What will LitWorld Accomplish?
By 2014: Help one million children learn to read.
By 2016: Equip ten thousand literacy leaders to effect change that will impact ten million children across the globe.

Thanks for your support everyone.

Jackie,
I still need to set up my event at a local book store. I'm thinking Barnes and Noble. What book/books are you reading? I'll probably email you with questions etc. Isn't LitWorld a great organization?

Great post, Michelle. I want to figure out how to post the video and images on my blog as well. I am having a little party for my girlfriends on February 2--as a book exchange and fundraiser. I am also planning to read at my friend's nursery school class. Very excting stuff!
