Toonies 4 Change: Give the gift of reading

IMG_1173 copyWe believe quality education is a fundamental tool to human development and essential to eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable economic growth. Without strong literacy skills and a passion for reading, individuals are less able to access and pursue opportunities that would otherwise help them in their learning and personal development journey.

Come join us at 6:30 pm at Vancouver Public library for International Women’s Day and learn about our new initiative to buy books for Rwandan schoolchildren at Toonies4change.org.

Additionally, help us spread the word by signing our petition on change.org.
