Latest News Updates on our work in Ghana and around the world.

Here is a post from Krysta Strasbaugh:

Literacy Bridge hosted a fundraising event in Bellevue, Washington on July 11th, 2010. Even more recently, our planning team met to reflect on what we had learned throughout the process… My mind immediately lit up with images of food, equipment, decorations, and lists- oh, the lists- that came together to form a space where our guests would eventually gather. However, these vivid images soon faded into a deeper, more significant, feeling that comes when one is touched by the sheer generosity of others.

• -  a decadent buttercream cake
• -  fresh food and drinks galore
• -  sleek, portable posters featuring people in our Talking Book program
• -  hours and hours of video editing
• -  the collaboration of our volunteer team
• -  and so much more…

All donated by people and businesses who connected with our cause and chose to use their talents and recourses to help continue the work of Literacy Bridge. This sense of community and care is contagious. It spilled over into the flavor of our event and continues to contribute to the enthusiasm of our volunteer team.

On behalf of the Literacy Bridge team, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of our local, in-kind donors. Without you our event would not have been as successful, and your gifts truly do keep on giving.
