We’d like to show you one way you’re helping this holiday season.

Meet 14-year-old Rita, a high-school student in Adeiso, Ghana. Rita wants to become a leader in Ghana and make a difference. She recently wrote us a note about her dream and said: “By getting an education, I have the ability and power to change a poor nation to a successful, developed nation.”

We think she will do exactly that. By supporting our programs, you’re helping to create a better future for younger generations. As Rita says in this video, “Helping people is in me.” We think you can relate — helping people is in you, too. And that’s why we want to say: THANK YOU!

Oh, if you’re looking for a meaningful holiday gift for a loved one, please visit our gift guide  and give a gift that keeps giving back. For every e-book you give from Amazon Children’s Publishing, Amazon will donate an e-book to a child in Africa. Or, you can dedicate a donation to someone you love with a personalized e-card.

Happy holidays!
