Thanks for Your Donations to Literacy Bridge
LearnOutLoud.com recently donated money to Literacy Bridge, a charity that is providing Talking Book Devices to families in the rural north of Ghana. If you remember back in December we promised to donate $1 of every order from Christmas through New Year's to Literacy Bridge:
$1 of Every Order to Literacy Bridge Charity
You responded with over 500 orders and we donated $549 to the Literacy Bridge program. Thanks for your donations!
Cliff from Literacy Bridge responded:
"Thank you so much for the very generous donation!
"Up until recently, all of our support came from individual donors. We're excited to now be getting support for our work from corporate donors; but it's especially nice to get support from a company that is also making educational materials available through media. More than most, I imagine your employees and customers must truly recognize the impact of access to information.
"Please pass our appreciation to everyone at LearnOutLoud.com for taking this action to apply your company's mission to people who haven't inherited the same resources as the rest of us."
And at LearnOutLoud we say thank you to all who ordered and donated $1 of their order. We hope to do more charity donations in the future and encourage audio learning around the world! If you haven't yet, please visit Literacy Bridge today and consider giving a donation or becoming a volunteer:
