Thanks for your interest in my Room to Read Trek

Goal of this initiative is to raise funds for scholarships: On the following pages you can find more details about my planned hiking tour in support of Room to Read (Morocco, Sept 26. - Oct 03, 2009). If you can’t make it that week but would like to support me, or if you have any questions, drop me a line.

Thanks to everyone who supported me – and the girls! – so far. If you are thinking about making a donation this year, consider this: By providing funds for a scholarship we can lay the foundation to break the vicious circle of illiteracy and poverty.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The Organization
Room to Read has an ambitious goal to support education for ten million children by the year 2020. Since 2003 it has been acknowledged as one of the 25 best charities in the USA.

The Trekking Tour
John Wood founded the organization after returning from a trekking tour in Nepal. So why not come on another trek to support Room to Read! At an altitude of 4, 071 meters, M’Goun is one of the highest peaks in Morocco. Let’s combine the personal challenge of this trekking tour with a humanitarian one and raise funds for Room to Read.

Your Support
About 770 million people worldwide are illiterate; two-thirds of those are women. Almost always poverty is the cause – and the outcome. To help put things a little right, I want to raise the funding needed for 10 girls to go to school. And I need your help in this!

Updates
I’ll keep you in the loop about how this project is coming together with frequent updates on our progress.
