“The best way to find yourself is to see yourself in the service of others.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
Below are charities and organizations that help me to find myself by giving and supporting literacy, health care, education, justice, community, and joy. Find yourself.
East Bay Book Project

Room to Read
Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in low-income communities by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education.
