We currently have 350 children in our book Club. These children will be reading for fun for a total of 720 minutes or 12 hours over a 2 months period. We encourage the children to read books that they received from us,books from the library, newspaper and children's magazine. We will reward the children that reach this goal and those that show tremendous improvements in their reading scores during the school year. Please help to Change 1 Child by supporting our reading club.
This is an opportunity for all volunteers and members to share their experiences with the various projects. You will also read about our International coordinators and their experiences and our latest news. This is for the general public and all our supporters.
