Read Africa Ball

Read Africa Ball

The second annual CODE Read Africa Ball was held on Friday November 25th. It was the hottest ticket in town to launch the 2011 festive season!

People enjoyed and danced to live African sounds and DJ music, shopped for Christmas at the silent auction and mingled at the open bar and feast on fine hors d’oeuvres.

The 2nd CODE annual fundraiser was a gift of literacy’ to children in Africa this season.

CODE  is an organization which embraces the concept of sustainable literacy in Africa. It has been honoured by the International Reading Association, UNESCO and the Government of Canada, for its work in education and literacy in developing countries. CODE’s programs provide professional teacher and librarian training, support for libraries and publishers, and books which are culturally, age and gender appropriate

Supporting CODE by the Read Africa Ball, is one way of helping to ensure that as many children as possible have access to education, and learning to read and write so that they can live and thrive.  The Read Africa Ball is about gathering great friends for a great cause, and increasing CODE's visibility and awareness within an affluent, educated, mid-town Toronto community.
