We are Lumos
One of the things I'm greatest at is reading. I absolutely LOVE books. In grade 7, I read 75 full books simply during school hours throughout the year. I also have a mile long wishlist on Chapters/Indigo. And my favourite series is (a classic) Harry Potter.
Aaah, Potter. My first true series. I'd curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and one of those books and be there all day. In fact, I first read the series (all 7 books) in grade 5 over the span of about 2 1/2 weeks. I have a snitch pocket watch and an interactive (reed) wand. My house is Gryffindor, my Ilvermorny house is Thunderbird, and my patronus is an otter.
And of course, the queen is JK Rowling.
She's the best. Pottermore is one of my favourite sites and I've read everything she's written there. But what did Miss Rowling do with the millions of dollars in book sales? She started Lumos.
Lumos is the nonprofit organization created and run by JK Rowling to help children stuck in homes and institutions everywhere regain their right to grow up with the love and safety of a family.
We in 1st world countries like Canada, America, and the UK know what it's like to have a family. A home to live in, food on the table, clothes to wear, and most importantly, someone to love us. But kids in poverty-stricken countries are often placed in orphanages to receive care even if they have someone to love and take care of them. With donations and such, Lumos helps free kids from these places and reunite them with their families. You can learn more, donate, and join by clicking here.
Currently, Lumos is having a 7 day sale of special limited edition t-shirts as part of their campaign to reunite children in poverty-ridden countries with their families. You can order one by clicking here. I've ordered mine: will you?
