Read to Feed scheme to send a cow!
Pink Cow are linking up with Send a Cow to support their Read to Feed scheme. The idea is to encourage children to raise sponsorship money for each book they read from a list of titles selected to cover life in Africa, the sustainability of the planet and what individuals can do to help – all of which support literacy, geography and PSHE within the curriculum.
With the money raised Send a Cow provide poor farmers in Africa with livestock, training and advice to enable them to become self-sufficient. For more information about the scheme and Send a Cow’s vital work, please see their website http://www.sendacow.org.uk/readtofeed
Here at Pink Cow our aim is to help make the scheme as easy to take part in as possible – no more searching the website to track down the recommended titles, just look at the list below. Wherever possible we’ve included a link to our website, giving more details about the books and the option to order instantly online. If there’s no link, please ring us for details.
What’s more, for every title ordered through us, we’ll give you 10% off the price, making raising money easier too!
