Every book I read helps educate a child in India
Dear Friends,
I am participating in Pratham USA Readathon 2016 because I want to help less fortunate children attend Pratham schools and learn to read, write and count well. Pratham is a not-for-profit organization that is educating millions of kids in India since it was founded in 1995. It is very well known and has won many international awards for its work in child literacy and education. Pratham USA raises funds and awareness in the US for this important cause. Please visit www.prathamusa.org for more information.
Pratham needs only $25 to educate one child for one whole year. I love to read because when I read, I can learn a lot, meet new people, discover new places, find new ideas, improve my vocabulary, use my imagination and never get bored! I am so happy that with your donation, my reading will help many other children. I am going to read 20 books. Please support my Readathon by making a donation to Pratham USA today.
Love,
(Sia Patel)
Auggie and me Pluto chapter (sent March 20)
I just finished reading the Pluto chapter in Auggie and me. If you read the update about wonder you would know how Auggie is. This chapter was about how much Pluto knew Auggie. At the beginning Pluto told how he knew Auggie when they were little,because he had a deformed face he did not have many friends.So they went over to their neighbors house because their neighbors had a child that was Pluto Auggie and him became best friends.A short time later they made a moms group to help the kids make friends. When they got older they started calling ”Pluto” his real name and it was Chris. When Chris got into 6th grade Him and Auggie were still friends.One day Chris left things at his house by accident so his mom would have to drop his things off at the school. But mom never came. That prevented him from doing band. He was surprised that his dad came to pick him up.His mom and dad were were not together any more. So he asked his dad where his mom was he said that she was in the hospital because she got into a car accident. His dad took Chis to the hospital to see his mom she had a broken leg she was in a wheelchair,because his mom could not walk around and move by herself his dad had to stay there to help his mom. Later that day Chris was doing his homework and did not know how to do it.So he went into the guest room to ask his dad because his mom was resting.His dad did not know how to do it either.The only person how knew how to do it was his mom but she was asleep.He started crying because he thought that it was his fault that his mom got into a car accident and broke her leg and he could not solve his math problem.Auggie’s mom called to see how his mom was doing on Chirs’s phone.After she saw that he was crying she gave the phone to Auggie so he could calm him down and help him with the math problem. In the end they solved the math problem and had a good night.
