Nick Kristof on John Wood’s incredible literacy project, “Room to Read”
I came here to Vietnam to see John Wood hand out his 10 millionth book at a library that his team founded in this village in the Mekong Delta — as hundreds of local children cheered and embraced the books he brought as if they were the rarest of treasures. Wood’s charity, Room to Read, has opened 12,000 of these libraries around the world, along with 1,500 schools.

My Guitar
Oh wouldn’t it be a most wondrous thing
To have a guitar that could play and could sing
By itself- what an absolute joy it would be
To have a guitar… that didnt need me.
