Read more about how Olivier decided to support CCLF here: childrensliteracy.ca/case-studies/b… #GivingTuesday #GiveTheGiftOfWords

When his mother told him about the Canadian Children’s Literacy Foundation, Olivier immediately knew this was the organization he would choose. But he wanted to do more than just tell his classmates about CCLF: he wanted to help out.

Last month, 6-year-old Olivier Cormier was given a unique project at his school, École internationale de Montréal (Primaire): find an organization that helps others and share it back with his class.

This year, one Early Words clinic wanted to give back to the program to show their gratitude for it. For nearly four years, @CedarGrovePeds has seen the program’s impact firsthand. That’s why the clinic decided to donate 10% of their Early Words book costs from their overhead.

When you Give the Gift of Words, you help ensure children can begin their lives with stronger language, confidence, and connection. Donate to CCLF today: childrensliteracy.ca/ways-to-suppor…

This #GivingTuesday, you can Give the Gift of Words to children across Canada. Donations to the Canadian Children's Literacy Foundation support our Early Words programs for healthcare professionals and early years educators, reaching children through the adults in their lives.

This #GivingTuesday, consider giving a gift that makes a difference in the lives of children today and tomorrow: give the gift of words. Every donation helps us train educators, give children books, and create resources for families to use at home. childrensliteracy.ca/ways-to-suppor…
