Every book I read helps educate a child in India

Dear Family and Friends,

Its hard to believe that first week of school is coming to an end….. I am certainly looking forward to a great year in 7th grade.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my periodic updates and some of the book reviews as much as I have enjoyed reading and writing the summaries. If any of you have some good book recommendations for me, please do let me know. I am always looking for the next good book to devour

As the fundraiser is coming to an end and a challenge to raise $250 by Sept 15th has been accomplished, I would like to reach out to all of you one last time to support me in reaching my goal of $1500.

Thank you all so much for your support.

Regards,
Aditya

For those of you who haven’t read the Harry Potter series, or have started late, like me, the books are awesome! As they say, better late than never! This summer, I’ve been reading the whole series slightly out of order but am still getting the gist of the books.
