Volunteer Readers in the Schools

During the month of October, 40 volunteers from Houston businesses including Cigna, Littler Mendelson, IBC Bank, Houston Center for Literacy,Houston City Council members and staff are joining Making It Better staff and Guild members to spend some quality time reading to students attending 9 HISD elementary schools. As Barbara Bush, former First Lady, reminds us, "If you help a person to read, then their opportunities in life will be endless." A heartfelt thanks to all these volunteers, taking time out of their hectic schedules, to spend some quality time reading to these children.
