Hello Yusuf, I met you at TEDx in Princeton. I have been a volunteer for Room to Read in NJ for 7 years. Room to Read was started by social entrepreneur John Wood in 2000 after leaving Microsoft. Room to Read focuses on literacy and gender equality in education in 14 countries. There are volunteer chapters on campuses around the country. If you have any interest in establishing one at Lafayette, please let me know if I can help. http://www.roomtoread.org
