We all know that books hold the key to language and literacy.
My guest today, Sahana, a high school senior from Ohio, has always had a passion for words and reading, and was a finalist in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
She launched Young Learners, an organization with the goal of advancing youth literacy with free books and programs, which has already donated over 18,000 books to children in need.
Welcome back, everyone.
I am super excited to introduce you to my new friend, Sahana, today.
She is gonna tell us all about this wonderful work that she does with something called Young Learners.
Hey, Sahana.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
I'm good.
Thanks so much for being here.
So why don't you kick us off here.
How old are you? Where do you go to school? Where do you live? All that good stuff, and then tell us all about Young Learners, how it got started, the inspiration, the spark, what do you do, all of it.
