Poets,
I admire poets like REDWAVE who actively pursue things that matter to him. RED's commitment to civil action encourages me.
I haven't been involved in marches like RED, but I have done something that is important to me. Lotus sponsors a literacy program for children.
Nubia Leadership Academy is our sponsored school for Books For Kids. During February and March, we will pool our resources and efforts to purchase needed books for the school. Click on the links to view requested books. You can purchase directly from amazon.com
Our goal is to purchase a minimum of $200 in books. Additionally, we'd like to forward needed classroom supplies. We thank you in advance for your donation. Together, we can positively impact the lives of our children.
Peace,

About Nubia:
"Nubia Leadership Academy is a K-6 Charter school in San Diego, California. It was established in 1997 with the goal of creating a community-based, child-centered learning environment that promotes the development of: leadership, self-confidence, academic excellence, and art appreciation. Being a 98% African-American school population, we spend a good amount of time learning black history, and about positive role models they can look at as examples of achievement. But we also spend time getting to know other people and cultures as well, so our children can live in our diverse world with acceptance and understanding. As an inner-city school, we sometimes have trouble acquiring all the materials we would like to enrich the classroom experience. And especially in the K-1 grades, where children are just discovering books--you can never have enough. Ideally a classrooms selection of books should be always expanding and growing. However when funds are not available in schools, and teachers excess income is limited, that doesn't always happen. Here at Nubia the K-1 teachers share books between classrooms and grade levels. Books are so much more than just a learning tool to our children--they are magical! Reading takes them to places they have never been---and helps them look through the eyes of other people. Please help us continue to take them on learning journeys! We genuinely appreciate anything you can do for our children, and our school."
Nubia's Wish List
p.s. For our first school, we purchased 42 titles totaling $362.00. Our goal is to reach $400.
