    Chief Executive Officer at Room to Read

    I am heartbroken that the world has lost Susan Wojcicki. She was my friend, my mentor, my board member. Rarely can we say someone changed the lives of millions. But that’s exactly what she did. She was of course an exceptional visionary in tech and business, but she was just the same when it came to girls’ education and world change. She wanted better for all of us. During my years as CEO of Room to Read, I have been so fortunate to enjoy time with Susan. During our chapter working together we grew Room to Read’s impact 4x.  She made room for me during her most difficult and trying moments. She believed our mission mattered. She encouraged us as an organization and me as a leader, to be bolder and braver. She inspired me to move forward when I was losing faith. She told me to stop and breathe in the fresh air. She told me to hold my children close. She wanted "She Creates Change" to reach every corner of this globe – so all girls could recognize possibility. I will remember everything she taught me. Susan, alongside the millions of children who will forever benefit from your kindness and your Room to Read family, I promise to make your legacy beautiful and lasting. Every time a young woman believes that #SheCreatesChange I will think of you. Thank you, Susan. I love you…G

    "Young learners are now eager to borrow books and come to the library at every chance to read, without being asked to do so." – a Reading Champion teacher-support aid in South Africa Through South Africa's Reading Champions initiative, young adults become catalysts for change. A Presidential Employment Initiative managed by South Africa’s National Education Collaboration Trust, Reading Champions employs young adults as teacher aids in primary schools, where they help to engage students in reading activities and encourage library use. In partnership with the government, Room to Read has supported the training of these champions — approximately 60,000 so far — benefiting approximately 4.6 million children with effective reading resources while fostering a strong national reading culture.
