See Beautiful is thrilled to name (drum roll, please!) the Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy as our July Non-Profit of the month!
When
it comes to seeing beautiful, one of the most wonderful parts of what
we get to do is raise awareness for, and donate to, wonderful
non-profit organizations. July's featured project of the month, the Ferst Foundation is near and dear to our hearts and leaves us completely inspired. We are honored and humbled to sponsor
such an important non-profit organization who has impacted the lives of
thousands of children and their families! We have no doubt their
work will leave you moved as well!

Why the Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy?
This one was easy - so easy. At absolutely no cost to families, children receive wonderful books every month for FREE! Free! Free! Here's the skinny: Researchers suggest that one in five children in the state of Georgia lives in poverty. With staggering rates of poverty, purchasing children's books is often at the end of a wish list for supplying needs; however, children's literacy rates have a direct correlation with success later in life. Bringing a book into the home, not once, but sixty times, over the first five years of a child's life fosters beautiful opportunities for families to spend time exploring literacy, literacy learning, and the world through books - wonderful, glorious, books!
How does the Ferst Foundation see & spread beautiful?
There are so many ways we're inspired by the kind, beautiful people at the Ferst Foundation and the myriad ways they see beautiful. Here are just a few:
- Provides 60 children's books for FREE to enrolled children across the state of Georgia;
- Supports early literacy learning through family activity and discussion guides accompanying books;
- Fosters community outreach and development through the sharing of early literacy learning activities and importance;and
- Engages community members in thoughtful consideration of book selections that reflect the face of Georgia's children, and children around the world!

ReplyDeleteexciting for preschoolers receiving 60 books before entering school.
Congratulation on another well-chosen organization to bring to our
attention and for you to financially support.
What a great choice for the month of July. I know the importance of the little peeps reading and what a difference it will make in their lives. My little peep friend L reads to me sometimes and he is only about 2 years old. I love it. I just get to kick back and he props his book on me and reads it to me (and he rubs my ears too).

Wow, this is so great that they provide books to kids in need for free. It's so important for kids to read books and they are really making the world a better place through their organization.
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to see children enjoy things OTHER than video games! Knowledge is power and power is beautiful!
