Welcome to our Room to Read Fundraiser!!!

This group is a collection of Squidoo lenses which donate all or part of their proceeds to Room to Read. Our goal is to raise $10,000.

Here are some ways you can help:

Tell people about the fundraiser. Email a friend. Mention it on your blog, etc.

Look through the lenses. Rate them, give them feedback and remember if you buy something you're helping a great charity.
