The Fledgling Initiative- What an awesome approach to support literacy in less fortunate countries.

Fledgling Wine, Room to Read and Twitter have teamed up to extend literacy and educational opportunities to children around the world. In order to promote literacy in some of the world's poorest regions, for every bottle of wine purchased at Fledgling Wine, $5 will be donated to Room to Read who in turn will donate books to various rural communities.

Room to Read started ten years ago in Nepal by Microsoft Executive John Wood. Since then it has grown into a global non-profit organization changing and benefiting the lives of children throughout Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zambia. They have established over 700 schools and over 7,000 bilingual libraries with millions of books. Step by step, donation by donation and bottle of wine, children are receiving a chance to learn how to read and write. They are receiving an education.

Here's your chance to play a part in helping these children receive a chance for a better future while you get a buzz. Simply visit
