I am planing a "Sparky the Wonderfish: Opportunity through Literacy Tour" (and documentary). We will use this "story of how love creates magic" to help rebuild the opportunities of literacy along the New Orleans disaster areas. Our project is aimed toward the educational wants and needs of the children effected by these disasters. I will read, conduct Q&A's... the kids will receive Sparky stickers, they will do coloring pages, interactive games, meet Sparky (costume) and I will donate the books & supplies that the children need. We intend for Sparky to reach at least 20 schools, 5 libraries and 2 hospitals. We also plan a Music Festival Fundraiser which will conclude this tour in New Orleans Parish next year. This SPARKY PROJECT will raise money to build at least one new green school and library room devoted to this literacy program. Upon completion of this project, Sparky will leave behin an agenda for mentoring students to read & write, play and interact for years to come! Help me HELP those in need! *We are working hard on our 501C3 but, If you have an idea to raise awareness for this Sparky Literacy Tour or the ear of a great sponsor please contact me! Thanks! |
