The Great Warwick Jump · 12 March 2011

READ International addresses the lack of educational resources in schools in Tanzania, creating libraries and supporting young people in skills and capacity development. To date we have sent 1.5 millions books to East Africa and created 94 secondary school libraries.

Story

<p>Thanks all for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page!</p> <p>For some ridiculous reason I have decided to jump out of a plane - but all for a good cause! The charity I'll be doing the skydive for is READ International, which sends textbooks to schools in Uganda and Tanzania.</p> <p>As I am rather scared of planes and heights, anyone who knows me will realise how absolutely ridiculous this is. As my arachnophobic best friend said, "It would be like me going on a spider safari". I will never be more scared in all of my life, but it is for a good cause, so here we go! If I can face my fears to do this, I'm really hoping you can all dig deep and donate generously.</p> <p>Thank you everyone! I need to raise a minimum of &pound;380 for READ International, but the more the better!! I'll be going alongside Megan Barbour and Max Shaw, and we will try to prepare by jumping off sofas (similar, surely?), and singing flying-related songs (top at the moment are 'Flying without Wings', 'Defying Gravity' and 'I Believe I can Fly'). If you can donate to them as well, that would be wonderful.</p> <p>Thanks all, you are amazing and magnificent people :D</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
