Rwandan LitMoms at @ReadyforReading issued the Memory Keepers Project as part of the Kwibuka, the commemoration of the genocide - a powerful session that brought together LitMoms and genocide survivors in a moment of healing.

This is the power of the Memory Keepers Project.

At LitWorld, we believe in a world where children not only love to read, but love to share the power of stories with others. We are so proud of our LitClub girls in Pakistan (@seedsofhopefdn), who shared their LitWorld spirit by reading aloud to young students at a local school.
