Marathon Reading is where a group of students, faculty, community members, or others read a book or group of books out loud non-stop for a long period of time.

Consider having a marathon reading for your next literacy fundraiser, like these groups.

Warm Greetings to you from Papua New Guinea!  We wonder whether your wonderful organization shall be able to provide computer equipments to two Elementary schools for school children in a rural primary school in the Tambul District of Western Highlands Province in Papua New Guinea.

We would be grateful of any support.
