The problem I am trying to solve is literacy in low income communities. The best place to start is with children when they are young and give them the joy of reading.

We are a brother and sister who have been able to go many places and see many things. Sometimes when we see, or hear about other kids who don't have what we enjoy, we want to help. We love to play with stuffed animals, they make us feel good, and we love to read. When kids in America finish with bears and books, they just give them away and sometimes they are wasted. We are collecting all these books and bears (or other animals) and sending them to other kids who don't have an animal to hold or a book to read.

My goal is to create the first library at Meru Peak School, Mount Meru, Tanzania. I will be teaching at the school for 2 months. The Meru Peak School and orphanage provides free education for children whose parents have died of HIV/AIDS. Headmaster Joseph Maganga believes education is the key to creating opportunities for the young people in Tanzania. Both he and his wife, also an educator, use a majority of their combined salaries to sustain Meru Peak School.
I can't imagine a childhood without books.

Ridgecrest Elementary is a K-8 school located in a rural community in western Stanly County, North Carolina. This school’s students are nice, friendly, and quite intelligent. Unfortunately, many of the students are not interested in reading. My Eagle Scout project has the potential to correct this problem by creating a fun reading environment for the students. I plan to construct an outdoor classroom area that contains benches and a storyteller’s chair.

I go to elementary schools and a middle school every day to help teach classes. In the elementary school I help second through fourth grade students that having a learning disibality with thier math, reading, spelling and writing. When I go to the the middle schools I help teach an American history class, and an English/Reading class. I enjoy going to these schools because I beleive that if I can help one person and have an impact on thier life than I have acheived my life long goal.

Reading Buddies is a program intended to bring the best of two worlds together. This program infuses mentorship with advocating an interest in leadership and literacy. In this program, students from the University of Maryland would volunteer once a week to read books to elementary school children located in Prince George's County, very close to the University.

The purpose of the OWL Program is to provide books free of cost, through donations, to increase literacy among homeless and poverty-stricken children and young adults. Through these measures, we hope to increase literacy and awareness of the importance of education among the families of the EHC Lifebuilders' Sobrato House, the only shelter we are focusing on at this time. We have installed bookshelves in the shelter that we stock with donated books so the children and young adults may have any book on the shelve whenever they want.
