Baby boomers give back

They're retired baby boomers who feel their job isn't done yet. So they're putting a lifetime of experience to work and teaching America's young kids to believe in themselves. We'll tell you about a nationwide program that allows baby boomers to give back, by helping kids across the country learn how to read.

Here is Ron Allen's script and video from the broadcast: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13189508/

Included in the story is a link to the Experience Corps Web site, where you can find out more about the program.

I'd also like to know who to contact for more information about this program.

I'm trying to get a program started called "Dive into reading with The Nautical Fishwife." As a retired teacher I began a small business that offers products to mariners. One of my products is perfect for classroom storage of books and reading circles.I didn't realize this until after I had designed the product! The project I need help with will place reading materials in laundry mats! Think about it, you have laundry mats located in walking distance to low income housing. By keeping these displays filled with children's books, that they are allowed to take home, you are giving them ownership to appropriate reading material. This is something that is in short supply in too many homes. What I need are organizations willing to collect childrens books and keep the displays filled. Sororities, Fraternaties, non for profit groups, church groups would find this a very managable program. Please contact me for more information. Lets enlighten and educate our youth, one at a time, we can do it.

Why is there only 4+ lines on a program as important as this? Please provide a link for more information.

This sounds like an excellent program! Where can I sign up to help?
