ABOUT US

Write Around the World is a non-profit organization dedicated to the support of quality education for the underprivileged children of the world, while offering a sense of community service in America’s youth.

Founder and President, Michael Lewis, has been a chiropractor in the metro-Seattle area for the past 15-years and has extensive volunteer experience locally. In the spring of 2009, Dr. Lewis left Seattle for an around-the-world motorcycle journey. As he travels, he will visit many rural and impoverished areas. The relationships he establishes along his route will be the basis for Write Around the World’s school projects. Write Around the World is his way of combining his adventure with a socially conscious project that leaves a positive footprint in his rearview mirror.

Project Kenya needs your help!

SUPPLY DRIVE FOR KENYA

From now until mid-June WATW is collecting donated school supplies and clothing for the children of Kenya. We are fortunate enough to have been given space in a shipping container bound for Kenya in late June.

We are asking our young student supporters to donate their end of school year backpacks and useable school supplies to the children of Kenya. We are
suggesting that it also might be a good time to clean out their closets for unwanted clothes – under the supervision of mom of course.

Some of the items we are hoping to send to Kenya:

• building blocks, sturdy puzzles and other educational toys for the preschool class.
• backpacks, rulers, safety scissors, glue sticks, markers, thick chalk,
• children's books, so that the teacher can read to the children and the children can use as a reading tool. Currently, the school does not have one book!
• a soccer ball, jump rope and some other recreational toys would go a long way during recess.
• shoes and light clothing for 4-8-year olds.
