Dear _______________ ,

Reading is a skill that has a transformative impact on children, families and communities. I am excited to take part in Room to Read’s Summer Reading Challenge, and would love if you would sponsor me to help make an impact. It only costs CHF/$ 1 for Room to Read to produce and distribute a book, so every donation counts...hopefully we can fill a whole library together!

My goal is to read __________________________________ this summer, and I’m proud to dedicate my summer reading to Room to Read.

To sponsor me, please give my parents cash/coins or donate online at this link:

Thank you very much for your support!

Happy reading,
