Folks are celebrating Thanksgiving in the U.S.A. Many are thankful to have something to eat, friends and family to visit, and a roof over their heads.
I'm certainly thankful for all that but I especially want to share my thankfulness for Gone Reading International, an organization working to supply, to the billion humans who have no access to them, books…
I interviewed the founder of the organization, Bradley S. Wirz, in the post, It's Simple. They're Gone Reading :-)
Brad also has a blog and, to understand a bit about why he's devoting his time to getting books to deprived members of our human family, I encourage you to read his post, What Am I Thankful For? A Reader Gives Thanks.
Naturally, Brad is a devoted reader and his organization produces wonderful Gifts for Readers. The profits all go toward building libraries and advancing literacy programs.
Are there any organizations you're thankful for??
