This post is in response to this year’s Blog action day, the theme of which is Poverty.
I’ve always been a firm believer that the only way to permanently break the cycle of poverty is through education. Which is why I was delighted recently to come across this initiative call Room to Read.
What’s all the more inspiring is the the founder, John Wood, previously a high-flying executive at Microsoft, quit his very well-paid job to start up this organisation.
I’ll make a note to get involved with the organisation next year. What little we can contribute, makes a big difference in the lives of impoverished children.
