How You Can Help -
Become a Part of
the
World Literacy Initiative
Team!
At times we are moved by a great humanitarian cause or the unmet needs of our
planetary neighbors, yet fail
to act simply because of the perceived magnitude or complexity of the problem.
'How can we - as just one person - have an effect on such a great problem?',
we ask ourselves.
Still, we are hard pressed to recall worthwhile accomplishments, whatever our
values or beliefs may be, that are not the result of deliberate, collaborative effort
by caring individuals that necessarily began as individual efforts or in very small
collaborations.
Gandhi's words provide guidance while prompting us towards our
vision:
". . . become the change you seek . . . ."
If you would like to help in
a practical way, please consider doing one or more of the following things:

solely for use in achieving its mission goal:
Working to Improve Literacy and Basic Education
Throughout the Developing World.
Patronize
GoodSearch & GoodShop
GoodSearch is an
Internet search web site not unlike Google except that it contributes 50% of
its net proceeds to the charity selected at the beginning of the search. World Literacy Initiative
is a registered 501 (c)(3) with
GoodSearch and every
time you select it prior to doing a search, half the proceeds of that search
will accrue to World Literacy Initiative.
Similarly, GoodShop
(located at the same web site) donates usually from 2.5% to 7.0% of any
purchases made to the selected charity. Again, as World Literacy Initiative is
a registered charity, by going to
GoodShop and selecting World Literacy Initiative
first, some percentage of your purchase price will be donated by the
patronized store to World Literacy Initiative
Some organizations can accrue thousands of dollars simply by this process.
World Literacy Initiative asks you to convert your routine
searches and online purchasing to the
GoodSearch/GoodShop web
site and designating World Literacy Initiative
before you proceed. In this way, we hope to build the foundation of
support for our mission. Click on any of the hotspots in these past
two paragraphs and go see for yourself how easy it is to help us every day!
And thanks in advance for you help.
Volunteer
If you are willing to make a minimal commitment to World Literacy Initiative
over the next two years, please contact our
volunteer coordinator to discuss
current openings. Especially if you are just starting out, currently between
full-time obligations, or if you are in your retirement years, please consider
this option. Just contact our
volunteer coordinator to find out more about
helping in this way.
Thank you
for being a part of
our mission!
