I teach 5th grade in an inner-city school setting. We have a poverty rate of over 94% in our school. Also, we have four homeless shelters feeding into our school.

My students struggle with expanding their brain outside of their culture. I need to open their eyes to different cultures around the world.

My students love to read and what better way to expand their cultural knowledge with the book Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Journey to Change the World... One Child at a Time. I also plan to include this book across the curriculum in social studies, language arts, and math.

You will make it possible to allow each student a copy of the book to read and allow them to take their thinking to another level!
