Welcome to the Students Rebuild Literacy Challenge Peru webcast. I’m Nicole with Global Nomads Group in New York. For the past year you, students around the world, have been committed to the Students Rebuild Literacy Challenge, making bookmarks that were matched with funding to support Save the Children’s Literacy Boost program. I’m pleased to connect you to, Andahuaylas, Peru where students, teachers, and community members have directly benefited from the bookmarks you made through this challenge.

A few weeks ago this column focused on the importance of kindness, and readers responded with their own thoughts.
Linda St. Onge, from Yukon, said, “Kindness is an attribute I value greatly in others and I strive to demonstrate and 'require' it of myself.”
Andrea White wrote what I always like to hear: She thought the column was worth sharing with her two grown daughters, who were going to share it with their children.
Ed Apple, from Duncan, shared the wisdom of a verse by Adam Lindsay Gordon: “Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's troubles, Courage in your own.”
Mo Grotjohn, from Oklahoma City, recommended a book titled “Congratulations, By the Way: Some Thoughts on Kindness,” by George Saunders. A line in a quote on the back cover reads, “What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness.”
That same week, an invitation came from Carmen Clay, head of Casady School's Service-Learning Program, to view a documentary titled “Kindness Is Contagious.” The film will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 16 at Quail Springs Mall AMC Theater and is open to the public.
“Kindness Is Contagious” features scientists, university professors, street performers, soup kitchen volunteers, police officers, models, CEOs, athletes, roller girls, concert pianists and artists. The filmmaker asks each of them one question: “What is the nicest thing anyone has done for you?” The audience will learn how a little generosity can help one live a happier, healthier, wealthier, longer and more fulfilling life.
The Quail Springs theater must have 61 tickets reserved several days in advance of the screening to present the film. Patrons will only be charged for the ticket when that goal is met, so make your reservation ASAP.
Reserve your ticket ($11.25 per person) with a credit card at www.gathr.us/screening/12710, and you will receive your ticket via email.
I hope to see you at the movies!
