By providing access to literacy, education and libraries full of books to inspire them, our hope is that children (in some of the most destitute of situations) will dream beyond their geographic and cultural limitations, and aspire toward success, to fulfill their real potential in life. By attending this event, you would have joined us to 'alleviate poverty through literacy', as this gives the children the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty through reading. Thank U! For a rousing Tribute to All Mothers, we invite you, your family and friends, to the Mother’s Day Gala Events, on Saturday, 5th March 2016. This momentous occasion proudly confers our gratitude and appreciation on all the Phenomenal Women and mother figures in our lives – a big Thank U to all our Mothers!
