who? anyone & everyone

what? Building Tomorrow’s StandOff

when? Sept 10-11, 2010 (following international literacy day) –or– Sept 24-25, 2010

where? across the USA

how? stand for 24-hours straight adhering to three simple rules: no sitting, no leaning, no sleeping

the goal: raise awareness about the need for universal access to primary education and fundraise to support the construction of new primary-level academies in Uganda

why? Ask yourself this: what if you were never given the chance to go to school? Would you hold classes under a tree? Would you scribble your lessons in the dirt? Would you walk miles to get to a nearby school? Millions of children all over the world do every day. But, should they have to? Take a stand…for them.
