John Wood’s Story
 John Wood was overworked at his job at Microsoft. So he took a
vacation at Nepal to relieve stress. As he was trekking, he came
across a small school. Talking to the teacher he realized that there
were barely any books which students there could use. After
promising to return to with more books, Mr Wood started
collecting book donations from his family and friends. He managed
to collect around a thousand books for the school.
John Wood’s Story
 He later wrote a book, ’leaving Microsoft to change the World’,about his
experience of collecting books for the school. The book became well-known and
he earned 3 million dollars with which he started ‘Room To Read’, a global non-
profit organization which focuses on literacy and gender equality in education.
‘Room to Read’ has reached to around 10 million children, opened over 12 000
libraries and 1500 schools
Scott Harrison’s Story
 Mr Harrison used to work as a party promoter but quit as he felt
like he was living selfishly . He decided to sign up for volunteer
service aboard a floating hospital with a group called Mercy Ships,
the people living in poverty he met and his fellow colleagues
caused him to have a change in his perspective of the world.
Scott Harrison’s Story
 During his experience at Mercy Ships, Mr Harrison realized that 60% of the
diseases that were faced by people were due to lack of clean water. Hence, he
returned to New York to start ‘Charity:Water’ to provide people with clean water.
‘Charity: water’ has raised over $100 million and funded over 8,000 water projects
in 20 countries. When completed, those projects will provide over three million
people with clean, safe drinking water.
