— Kalyani (contact)
Deadline to sign up by: 30th November 2008
206 people signed up (6 over target)
More details
Sirukathai is a small organization in Ooty, India that wants to open up the world of books to children who don't have access to libraries.
We think that getting a child to read anything outside his or her textbooks, will help in opening up new worlds, develop thinking processes, aid communication, foster self confidence and create a better, more balanced and compassionate citizen.
Besides having fun.
