Synopsis "Creating Room to Read: A Story of Hope in the Battle for Global Literacy"
The inspirational story of a former Microsoft executives quest to build libraries around the world and share the love of books Whats happened since John Wood left Microsoft to change the world? Just ask six million kids in the poorest regions of Asia and Africa. In 1999, at the age of thirty-five, Wood quit a lucrative career to found the nonprofit Room to Read. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as the Andrew Carnegie of the developing world, he strived to bring the lessons of the corporate world to the nonprofit sectorand succeeded spectacularly. In his acclaimed first book, Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, Wood explained his vision and the story of his start-up. Now, he tackles the organizations next steps and its latest challengesfrom managing expansion to raising money in a collapsing economy to publishing books for children who literally have no books in their native language. At its heart, Creating Room to Read shares moving stories of the people Room to Read works to help: impoverished children whose schools and villages have been swept away by war or natural disaster and girls whose educations would otherwise be ignored. People at the highest levels of finance, government, and philanthropy will embrace the opportunity to learn Woods inspiring business model and blueprint for doing good. And general readers will love Creating Room to Read for its spellbinding story of one mans mission to put books within every childs reach.
