Write to Give

The Write to Give Program is dedicated to empowering young children in their reading and writing skills and at the same time giving back to students and teachers in Developing Nations.

When participating in the program, students get a chance to contribute to a fiction or non fiction text.  Together, with their teacher, they also get a chance to learn about African Culture, become published authors, receive a certificate and attend the annual Write to Give Day.

The program began in November 2008.  The first published book was titled Sir Blur and the Giant Dragon.   A total of  80 students took  part in collaborating their ideas with the guidance of

their teachers to create the first ever “Write to Give” Story.  Each class got a chance to write  the beginning or middle or the ending of the story.

The concept of Write to Give quickly became popular among other teachers in the Grand Erie Board, by May 2009 over 650 students participated in the program.

Our program now, not only focuses on fiction material, but this year will focus on non-fiction material as well.

If you are a teacher who is interested in participating in the program  just go to our website www.WritetoGive.com and send us an email, from there you will be given a login and password where you can access all the teaching materials to bring Write to Give to your classroom.

You will also find on the Write to Give website a Gift Shop where you can purchase any Write to Give books that have been published among some other African made Write to Give bracelets.
