Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Together with my follow colleagues, we've joined together to raise money for charity. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal.

By putting brand new, amazing, life-changing books into the hands of Caribbean children and creating/rejuvenating lending libraries at their schools, Hands Across the Sea is helping to raise the literacy levels—and the hopes for a better life—of underprivileged children on the islands of Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Now in its eleventh year serving Caribbean children, Hands Across the Sea employs a network of retired educators, called Hands Literacy Links, to mentor and coach school staff to bolster the sustainability of lending libraries at 400 primary schools (Grades K-6) and high schools across the region. Hands literacy support includes the Hands Student Librarian Program, the Hands Remedial Reading Toolkit (reading rescue for struggling high school students), and support materials such as the Teachers Resource Guide to the Library (Grades K-3), the Hands Library Manual, and the Hands Student Librarian Handbook.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
