John Wood was born in 1964 in Connecticut. He worked as a Microsoft executive from 1991 to 1999 before taking a trip to Nepal to relieve stress. During his trip, he visited a school with few resources and was moved by the children's lack of access to books. The following year, he donated 3,000 books and later quit Microsoft to found Room to Read, a nonprofit focused on literacy and gender equality in education in developing countries. As of 2012, Room to Read had established over 1,600 schools and 13,500 libraries benefiting 6 million children.

John Wood founded the global non-profit Room to Read after seeing poor education conditions in Nepal. He had previously worked at Microsoft for nearly a decade, holding various marketing and business development roles. In 1998, while trekking in Nepal, Wood visited a dilapidated school with too few books for the large number of students. Determined to help, he collected over 3,000 books within two months. He returned to Nepal with the books and was inspired to leave Microsoft in 1999 to focus full-time on improving literacy and gender equality in education through Room to Read. The organization has since constructed 1,930 schools, established 17,534 libraries, distributed over 15 million books, and benefited more than 9 million children.
Citizenship stage 2 literacy
John Wood is a social entrepreneur and founder of Room to Read, a non-profit focused on literacy and gender equality in education. He was inspired to start Room to Read after visiting a school in Nepal with no age-appropriate books. He left his job at Microsoft to focus full-time on collecting book donations for the school, which grew into Room to Read. Now, Room to Read operates literacy and gender equality programs in Africa and Asia, helping many children access education.
Literacy Citizenship
Literacy is defined as the ability to read, write, and use written materials in different contexts. Many developing countries have high illiteracy rates, with the majority unable to read or write in the poorest African nations. Illiteracy limits employment opportunities and often leads to poverty. The document discusses two individuals, John Wood and Greg Mortenson, who started non-profits to address illiteracy by establishing schools in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The importance of literacy
John Wood founded Room to Read in 2000 after being inspired on a trek in Nepal to help less fortunate students. Since then, Room to Read has impacted over 6 million children through constructing schools, establishing libraries, publishing books, and providing scholarships. Literacy is a right and responsibility, and organizations like Room to Read are transforming lives and the world through education opportunities.
Presentation - Danger of a Single Story
Chimamanda Adichie gave a TED talk warning of the dangers of having a single story about other people and cultures. She discussed how easily stereotypes can form from only hearing one perspective, and emphasized the importance of seeking out and learning multiple stories from diverse voices to gain a more complete picture and avoid misrepresentation.

Risky Reading: images and the vision of African education
Kio Global presentation delivered at the International Private Schools and Education Forum, Africa conference, London, 2013.
In early years as in digital culture, pictures (and few words) are the currency. In the African classroom, what are we looking at?
African Stories & Culture
The document outlines the tasks for a lesson on Chimamanda Adichie's talk "The Danger of a Single Story".

Universal Design for Learning is a framework that aims to increase access to learning by reducing barriers through presenting information in various ways, allowing for diverse forms of student expression, and motivating and engaging learners. Its overall goal is to value diversity and inclusiveness in education by stimulating interest through different means while accounting for physical, cognitive, intellectual, and organizational barriers that may impact learning.
Be Different: 21st Century Vision
The document discusses the skills needed for students to succeed in the 21st century and how education needs to change to engage digital native students.

The document advocates that educators need to change their approach to really reach digital native students. It lists changing job requirements over time that now require skills like digital graphics, animation, and web publishing.
The Danger of a Single Story

2) In the talk, Adichie discusses the problem with stereotypes that come from only knowing a single story about a person or place.

They set up an exhibition stall at a busy monument, created eye-catching displays and posters explaining the issue in both English and Urdu.

The tradition of organizing sacred toposes of faith is kept by the Greek population, under interstate agreements moved from Bulgarian Strandzha region of Drama and Serres in northern Greece.

Cultural Heritage Education - The Role of ICT
Cultural heritage education in most European countries was based for a long time on traditional teaching methods such as face-to-face classroom lessons using mainly printed materials (texts and images), and very seldom watching videos. Strangely enough, such innovativeness has not yet reflected openness to the introduction of ICT in teaching and learning methods, which has, on the contrary, characterized other disciplines in the last few years. As a matter of fact, no specific reference was directly made in the recommendation, as far as the use of ICT to support and enhance Cultural Heritage Education. As a consequence, nowadays ICT, while being increasingly employed in the field of Cultural Heritage to produce large archives of materials, to support scientific research and to foster the maintenance/preservation of Cultural Heritage artifacts, has not yet affected the approaches to teaching and learning in Cultural Heritage Education enough. The presentation focuses mainly on multimedia materials and their implementation in educational process in the cultural heritage.

Room to Read has since created over 3,000 schools and libraries across Asia and Africa, developing literacy for millions of children.

While trekking in Nepal, Wood visited an under-resourced primary school and was inspired to start collecting book donations. He eventually quit Microsoft to focus full-time on his organization, now called Room to Read. Room to Read has established over 17,000 libraries, constructed 1,930 schools, published over 1,000 books, and distributed over 15 million books to benefit nearly 10 million children across 10 countries in Asia and Africa by promoting literacy and gender equality in education.
Boy’s brigade
John Wood, a burned out Microsoft executive, took a backpacking trip to Nepal to escape. During his trip, he visited a village school and was shocked by its poor conditions - a dilapidated building and few textbooks that were locked away to protect them from the children. Inspired, Wood founded Room to Read in 2000 to help children in developing countries improve literacy and gender equality in education. Since then, Room to Read has expanded to 10 countries in Asia and Africa, opening thousands of schools and libraries and distributing millions of books.
