Every book I read helps educate a child in India

My name is Arjun Nageswaran. I am a 12 year old boy from Buffalo Grove, IL. I have done the Readathon before and the reason I do it every year is that it gives a platform in which not only does it encourage reading new books, but it helps kids in India get to enjoy the right taken for granted in the US – the right to an education. So while enjoying our own books, we are actually helping more people enjoy other books so everyone can get a chance to experience this joy in life! The Readathon also gives a fair chance for everyone to succeed in life – so even if you were born in poverty, you can receive an education and lead a great life.
