A Hero

John Wood is a person who I would consider a hero.

If you would like to read more about his life I would recommend his book. It is available at the Harris County Public Library for check out.

"Leaving Microsoft to Change the World : an entrepreneur's odyssey to educate the world's children," by Wood, John, 1964 Jan. 29-
Call No.: 370.913 Woo
ISBN: 006112107X

I believe that the title of the book speaks volumes. However, the organization which he developed, Room to Read is amazing! In only 7 years, Room to Read has established over 3,6000 libraries in the developing world. John Wood has made the world a better place, and I thank him for that.
