we(e) are a publisher of globally-themed children's books. Our books are published royalty free, with all proceeds funding education and literacy projects in Africa.

we(e) believe literacy is fundamental to education and skills creation; that these enable a sustainable future. And that literacy is a lifelong process, built on quality early primary literacy education and the fostering of a love of books, reading and learning.

we(e)'re building a place where globally-minded youth can get together to help foster Education For All!

If you could help foster education in the developing world with just a click, would you?

we(e)press.org has partnered with impossible2Possible.com (i2P) to help you do just that. Join us, on Facebook at IclickUread. And see how we're engaging youth in Education For All.

In October 2012, IclickUread in partnership with i2P, will send Youth Ambassadors on an exciting and grueling expedition into remote regions of Africa. There they'll learn firsthand about some of the challenges, and solutions, that will help us meet the world's promise for Universal Primary Education by 2015.

Nothing teaches like experience. Ultramarathoner, adventurer, and founder of impossible2Possible, Ray Zahab, knows this intimately! And so do we(e). As with all i2P Youth Expeditions, Ray will lead the team of Youth Ambassadors on an eye opening expedition through Uganda and Ethiopia. Joining the team will be thousands of students participating virtually from their classrooms around the world.

The Youth Ambassadors will attempt to run a marathon a day, making what once seemed impossible possible, while at the same time raising awareness for, and engaging in conversation about relevant topics such as feeding the world, education in developing countries, and the critical nature of clean water for everyone. They'll examine the challenges to delivering education, water scarcity, and food distribution. In their virtual classroom, the Youth Ambassadors will in turn share the lessons they learn with students around the world.

Through this initiative, we(e)press and impossible2Possible will inspire Canadian youth to network, learn, and share ideas about Education For All. But most of all they hope to inspire the idea that each of us can do something extraordinary in our own lives.

we(e) think education is a game changer and the key to sustainability. And we(e) think literacy is a gift; one we should all receive.

We'd love to have you join us at www.facebook.com/IclickUread, doing our part to help keep the promise of educating the world's children by 2015.
