Nepal: A Girl's Life
Special | 14m 49s
A literacy program called Room to Read is helping children create a better life.
While trekking in Nepal in 1998, American John Wood saw that many children couldn't afford to go to school and that schools in the poorest rural areas had a chronic shortage of books. It was a transformational experience for Wood that spurred him to start a literacy program called Room to Read.
