Daily, A to Z Literacy Movement and its partners provide education and support to over 100 Zambian children. Your tax deductible contribution will improve these children’s lives. Will you help?
Instructions for living life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.

After attending a Walk-A-Thon with hundreds of National Junior Honor Society students from Bernotas Middle School and Lundahl Middle School on May 4th, there is much to tell.
Friendly faces, generous givers, and promenading pupils gathered at Bernotas Middle School at 9:30 am to raise money for A to Z Literacy Movement. While the band jammed, students walked around the track, logging miles and service hours.
Generous donations totaled $7, 227. With these generous donations, impoverished students will receive school lunch, books, and quality teachers. Such incredible efforts were made by these NJHS students to improve literacy globally. For that, we are truly astonished.
