Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.

Since 1986 the doctors, nurses, psychologists, pedagogics, social workers, volunteers and support personal that have given life to La Casa de la Sal, A.C., had worked really hard to accomplish one important mission: "Rescue the fundamental values of the human being and give it a sense of hope and transcendence to the life of the kids, adolescents and adults that live with HIV/AIDS" That mission couldn't have been reached without a clear vision of the social commitment that has been assumed by the institution, that is: "Collaborate in the prevention and diminution of the daily impact for those who live with VIH/AIDS, through programs and services especially designed to give shelter, medical attention, nutritional attention, psychological and spiritual attention to people with low income that face such sickness" Of course that giving a meaning of hope and transcendence to the life of people that live and face the sickness wouldn't be possible without the practice of values, such as: acceptance, dignity, justice, honesty, respect, responsibility, liberty, equity, solidarity and tolerance.
