This term, Booked Out author Tristan Bancks is staging a World Change Challenge to raise $20,000 to buy 20,000 books for kids in the developing world through literacy charity Room to Read. Help him out and you can win a free author talk in your school or a Random House book prize pack.

Last time Tristan staged the World Change Challenge students around Australia raised funds to build a school library in Siem Reap Cambodia.  This time, it’s 20,000 local-language books for kids in Asia and Africa. $1 funds 1 book.

It’s a great way to engage kids in literacy, fun and social good. Watch the four-minute video showing how a single class raised $567 in one day, then hit the World Change Challenge page for a campaign pack and lots of fun fundraising ideas. – http://www.tristanbancks.com/2014/03/room-to-read-world-change-challenge-2014.html
