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>Hi! I'm Lauren.</p> <p>On the 12th March 2011 I'll be doing The Great Warwick Jump -skydiving out of a plane from 15,000ft, hurtling towards the ground at 120mph before releasing the parachute and hopefully landing safely. Everyone keeps saying to me "Lauren that does not sound like anything you would ever do..." and considering my horrendous fear of heights I'm not surprised! But I'm gonna do it!</p> <p>I'm raising money for the wonderful Read International&nbsp;who send textbooks to children in Africa, namely in Uganda and Tanzania. Since 2003 they have sent over 879,000 books and the charity is growing every year.</p> <p>If you believe everyone has the right to an education then please donate!</p> <p>Thank you!! :)</p>
