Thanks for visiting my individual fundraising page!

Why this cause is important to me:    

My daughter turns 16 on 6 December 2018.  To acknowledge this occassion she will share her musical gifts in gratitude and in celebration of her 16th Birthday. Those who wish will be given the opportunity to donate to Alexandra's chosen charity Room to Read.   

We chose this charity because we believe giving girls a chance to get an education who would otherwise not get the opporunity makes an impact on many fronts especially equal opportunity and gender equality.  Room to Read gives a high percent direct to the cause.

Why Room to Read? 

Many world problems can be addressed through one solution: education. Why? Because knowing how to read makes people safer, healthier and more self-sufficient -- yet nearly 800 million people are illiterate and two thirds are women and girls. That's why Room to Read's innovative model focuses on deep, systematic transformation within schools in low-income countries during the two most critical time periods in a child's schooling: early primary school for literacy acquisition and secondary school for girls' education.

Just like Room to Read, I believe that world change starts with educated children. So, join me on my journey to change the world. Every contribution helps!
