$100 Giftcard Giveaway #FindTheWords Spreading Awareness of the Importance of Preschool


Giveaway



Illiteracy and poverty go hand-in-hand with both having their roots in early childhood because 85% of a kid's brain is developed before he or she reaches the age of five. In conjunction with the Save the Children #FindTheWords awareness campaign I am working on, I am thrilled to be hosting a $100 giftcard giveaway.

IMAGINE a world where the reality is early childhood education opportunities for every child. Just think... you could win a great prize just by helping spread the word about why we all need to do our part to give access to an early childhood education to every child regardless of socio economic status.

When you see something inspired by the word IMAGINE in your everyday life out in the world, take a photo of it. Then tag it #FindtheWordsMBE on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram so I can share your visions!

  28. education is the great leveler in our society. "By age three, there is already a huge difference in kids from low-income homes as they hear on average 30 million fewer words than their more fortunate peers. This puts these children 18 months cognitively behind those with more wealth by the time they start school." i find it sad & disturbing in the USA we have such economic disparity. we all want better for kids. if i win i will donate the money to a school.
