Story
It all began when I met Diletta in 2011, where I shared my stories of visiting rural elementary schools and orphanages throughout India & China. From making and handing out food at orphanages in India, to teaching children how to say 'How can I help you?' in the villages of China. As each short story were told, her eyes started to glisten more and more. That is when she realized that we both had similar aspirations; to provide a brighter future for our youth.
We will be moving to Asia in order to further understand the needs of our students today, by gaining more hands-on volunteering experience. But before we do that, I'd like to make one of Diletta's wishes come true! This fundraiser is to help provide books to kids who don't have access to the materials they need in order to make an advancement in their academic careers. In order to make that difference, we wish to ask you all to help promote Room to Read by donating on this JustGiving.com page, which sends all of your contributions directly to the Room to Read.This is exactly what she wished for her birthday, something I was looking forward to making for a long time. Since Diletta is turning 25 (Sorry, you can't mask your age any longer), I thought it would be appropriate to make our goal $2,500 HK Dollars.
Please come together with us and help support these kids! Even a dollar makes a huge difference.
