Donating Books to the Children of the Sacred Valley
This year we have discovered Living Heart Peru an organization dedicated to improving Andean chidren's lives in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Our goal is to add them to the list of educational organizations we assist each year.

Donating Books to Schools
When Kids Read More runs their read-a-thon program, occassionally there are some students unable to collect funds due to low income or other special circumstances. These children often still compete in reading minutes for their school. We use the donations to make sure these students can also receive a participation book. What better prize for a child, than a book to read.
