Everyone who gets involved on behalf of a charitable organization has that one story in which their efforts were brought into sharp, human focus—that transformative moment in which they saw a life changed, even if just for a little while.
Kim Saccaro remembers hers. It involves a little boy and a dozen books.
An event hosted at the Harold Washington Library Center, the main branch of Chicago's Public Library, saw nearly 300 kids between the ages of 3 and 5 bussed in to take part in sessions tied to the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation's “Every Day is a Reading and Writing Day” initiative, a partnership with Sesame Workshop that provides tools for early literacy development. Some 300 volunteers representing various companies in the business of property & casualty insurance were on hand, paired up with the children for activity sessions designed to foster, among other things, a love of reading.
