A group of friends and colleagues has started a "Get Caught Reading" campaign in Georgia (Sakartvelo) this summer. The goal of the campaign is to motivate Georgian youth to read over the summer holidays. This summer, the program is for reading in ENGLISH.
Children should take photos of themselves reading an English book, then make a video Book Talk talking about what the book is about and why they like it, then post the photo and Book Talk on our facebook page. At the end of summer, a panel of judges will select 1st and 2nd place winners in each of 4 age categories.
We are raising funds for the following purposes:
1) Prizes (books) for the 10 winners.
3) Small gifts for teachers of the winning children.
Most Georgian schools don't have libraries, and children who live outside the major cities have little access to books. Prize packages of books that are of interest to their age group would make wonderful gifts!
We need the funds by the end of August.
If we raise more funds than we need for this summer's campaign, we will use the funds for the next Get Caught Reading Campaign, which will include Georgian books!
