Literacy for Love is a newly established club at Henry M.Jackson High School becoming official in October of 2013. The founders of Literacy for Love are two regular high school girls, Leah Shin and Suman Kaur, who want to change this world with the power of books. The roots of this club was planted by a flyer that both girls saw, stating "books are the change." With a little research, statistic sh
owed that "There's 1 book available for every 300 families that live in low-income communities in just the United States. In 3rd world countries they facing almost triple amount of families dealing with this same problem." With both girls knowing such heartbreaking facts they set a goal to:
- Improve the interest in reading
- Increase in both children, teen, and adults the desire to learn
- Increase reading in homes
- Increase educational opportunities
- To be the change
This is leading them to help provide the educational resources homes and schools are in need of. Books genuinely can change the path of someones life. Literacy for Love represents students who are willing to dedicate their time and share their love to make the community not only a better place but a literate one. All it takes to become a Literacy for Love team is: heart, books, and sharing your knowledge to the world.
