Thank You for Supporting Room to Read
Dear Yuko
Thank you for your generous gift to Room to Read!
Your investment allows us to continue to set bold goals in 2011, reaching millions of children in Asia and Africa with educational opportunity. With over 10 years of experience working in the field, monitoring our results and honing our model, Room to Read is applying lessons learned in significant ways to promote literacy and gender equality in education. This year, we will reach an additional one million children by establishing 1,900 bi-lingual libraries, publishing 157 local language children’s books, building over 140 schools, training thousands of teachers and librarians and providing continuing education to over 13,000 girls through secondary school. We strongly believe that there is no more valuable investment than education and the life change it provides.
Our efforts are focused in nine countries, all with a desperate lack of educational resources: Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zambia. With the generous support of investors like you, we plan to reach six million children through our educational programs by the end of 2011. We recognize you have many choices of where to direct your philanthropy and take our role as stewards of your gift extremely seriously. We are proud to be among only 6% of NGOs who have received the coveted Charity Navigator four-star rating for sound fiscal management for the past five years.
Thank you for your support as we continue to scale and reach out to more communities providing educational access and opportunity. Your partnership allows us to plan with confidence that six million children will gain access to our programs this year. Your commitment to help create world change through education makes this possible.

いつもは寄付を受けるRoom to Readですが、今回は、日本赤十字に寄付してくださったそうです。

日本の方々へ、お見舞い
Our deepest sympathies from
all of us at Room to Read
親愛なる日本の皆様へ
Room to Readの役員会、そして世界中のスタッフとボランティアを代表して、私はエリン・ガンジュとともに、壊滅的な地震と津波の被害を受けた日本の方々に心よりお見舞いを申し上げ、犠牲になられた方々に深い哀悼の意を表します。破壊と悲しみを伝える映像や画像、さらに進行中の複数の原子力発電所の問題には、痛ましさと恐ろしさを感じます。この大変な困難の時、Room to Readの全員が全面的に日本の方々を支援していることを、お伝えしたく思います。私たちは日本の方々が、勇気と決意をもって国を再建するであろうことを、確信しています。
人道救援と復興援助を支援するため、Room to Readでは無拘束資金から、日本赤十字社に寄付を行うことにしました。日本赤十字社は、現在学校や公共の建物の仮設センターから、医療援助にあたっています。
Room to Readは、スリランカが2004年末の悲劇に見舞われた際、教育基盤の再建に積極的に関わりました。何よりも私たちの心を動かしたのは、多くの家族やコミュニティが回復力を発揮し、粘り強く再建まで努力したその姿です。私たちは日本を何度も訪問したことがありますが、日本人に同様の精神と意志の強さを感じ、それこそが日本が素晴らしい国、そして世界をリードする経済国である所以だと理解しています。日本は悲しみを乗り越えた後、力を合わせて、この恐るべき悲劇に襲われた地域を再建し、助けていくものと信じています。
On behalf of Room to Read's Board of Directors, and our worldwide staff and volunteers, Erin and I want to express our deepest, heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The images of sorrow and destruction, coupled with the ongoing problems at multiple nuclear power plants, are both tragic and frightening. During these difficult times, please know that everyone at Room to Read is standing firmly behind the Japanese people who will undoubtedly rebuild their country with courage and determination.
To support the humanitarian relief and reconstruction efforts, Room to Read will be making a donation from unrestricted funds to the Japanese Red Cross Society which is now providing medical assistance at temporary centers housed in schools and public buildings.
Room to Read was very involved in the rebuilding of the educational infrastructure in Sri Lanka following their tragedy in late 2004, and What most inspired us were the many families and communities found that ways to be resilient, and to eventually rebuild. Having both traveled to Japan on many occasions, we know that this same spirit and determination are key reasons for why Japan is a great nation, and one of the world’s leading economies. We are confident that the country will, after a period of mourning, come together to aid and rebuild the communities that have been hit by this terrible tragedy.
As we gather this week for our annual Chapter Leadership Conference in San Francisco, we will bow our heads for a moment of silence to honor the victims and their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
海外からの励ましの言葉
My heart goes out to Japan. My thoughts are with you Japanese people. Be strong!
Don't lose hope!
God bless everyone affected by the earthquake & tsunami
