"Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark."
--Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Despereaux
Celebrate #GivingTuesday with LitWorld On December 1st. Together we can spread light in the world by bringing access to the joy and power of reading, writing and storytelling to children and whole communities around the world.
A gift of $20 to LitWorld can make big things happen in the communities where we work. Your generosity can send a child in India to LitCamp, or put books on the shelves of a community library, or support our year-round LitClub programs in one of the 20 countries where we work.
Lending your voice and support to LitWorld on social media (or by word of mouth) is an equally important #GivingTuesday gift. Use our sample posts to share LitWorld with friends and followers.
