Wipro, First Book Bring New Books to Seattle Area Kids in Need - Seite 2

First Book, which has operations in both the U.S. and Canada, works with formal and informal educators serving children in need aged between 0-18 years in a wide range of settings – from schools, classrooms, summer school and parks and recreational programs, to health clinics, homeless shelters, faith-based programs, libraries, museums, summer food sites and more. The organization supports more than one in four of the 1.3 million classrooms and programs that are serving children in need in the U.S. alone.

“Access to books deeply affect a child’s ability to learn, and we are grateful that Wipro and its employees in Seattle and across the nation continue to support their local communities by spreading First Book’s mission of bringing the transformative power of books to children in need,” said Kyle Zimmer, president and CEO of First Book. “Through the support and dedication of Wipro employees, tens of thousands of children can enjoy the power of reading and unlock their future.”
