John Wood founded the global non-profit Room to Read after seeing poor education conditions in Nepal. He had previously worked at Microsoft for nearly a decade, holding various marketing and business development roles. In 1998, while trekking in Nepal, Wood visited a dilapidated school with too few books for the large number of students. Determined to help, he collected over 3,000 books within two months. He returned to Nepal with the books and was inspired to leave Microsoft in 1999 to focus full-time on improving literacy and gender equality in education through Room to Read. The organization has since constructed 1,930 schools, established 17,534 libraries, distributed over 15 million books, and benefited more than 9 million children.Social entrepreneurship

The document discusses teaching active and passive voice to second grade students using an indicative strategy. It defines active and passive voice and explains that passive voice can be difficult for students to understand. The study aims to determine if indicative strategy, where students learn through experimentation and discovery, is effective for teaching these concepts. The scope is limited to teaching active and passive voice in simple present and past tense through examples and having students practice changing sentences. The significance is explained as providing benefits to the writer, teachers, students, and institution.John wood 2
