2. A bit on John wood’s life
-John wood was born on january 1964
-.From 1991-1999, John Wood worked as an executive for
Microsoft. His positions included Director of Marketing for
Australia, Director of Marketing for the Asia-Pacific region
and Director of Business Development for Greater china

3. What John wood did
-Wood took a vacation from his work at Microsoft in 1998 to trek through the
Himalayas. While trekking, he met a “resource director” for the schools in the
Annapurna Circuit of Nepal, with whom he visited a primary school that
contained 450 children and only a handful of books—none age-appropriate.
Upon seeing Wood's reaction to the lack of books, the school’s headmaster
suggested that he donate books to the school .

4. Continue...
-A year later, Wood returned to the school with
3,000 books—all donated in response to his
email appeal to friends and family. Soon
thereafter, he left his job at Microsoft entirely to
devote himself full-time to Books for Nepal, a
side project that would eventually form the
foundation for Room to Read.
