Last year I started working on a book for charity that requires a light source placed beneath each page to come to life. From working on this book, I realized how important having a light source is, and how fortunate children in this country are. Many children in other countries have no access to electricity or have to use kerosene for light. Kerosene is expensive, a health and fire hazard, and a polluting fossil fuel. When kids have light, they have the power to learn and change the world. When you have light, you can shine a light on others and inspire many more people.
Empowered By Light (EBL) is an organization that provides renewable and safe light sources to villages, which will give everyone an opportunity to learn and discover more. I chose EBL’s Project Zambia specifically, and hope you will see how your donation can make a big difference in many people’s lives. By supporting EBL, I can communicate the idea that no one is alone in the world, because light brings knowledge and hope.
