What if We Gave 3 New Books to Every Third Grader?

Oakland Rotarians and friends packing books for the March 2010 Oakland Reads project - three free books for every third grader in the traditional and charter schools in Oakland and Emeryville including third graders in the special day treatment classes at the East Bay Agency for Children and Lincoln Child Center's schools. Additional book sets given for libraries in all 73 schools and to Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland's child life program for a total of 14,000 books to over 4,125 children. This is a joint project with Oakland Rotary's Youth & Education Committee and the Oakland Unified School District with support from the Oakland Rotary Endowment, JLR Gear, East Bay Community Foundation, Target, California Charter Schools and generous Rotarians. Now in its 3rd consecutive year with a team of over 160 volunteers determined to improve the literacy of the youth in our community.

This was an amazing morning and I am happy that I was able to help. It would be nice if you add my name Kouros.C.Mohit to the tags so I am found easily. I am the tall guy who says "The pay is great!"
