Room

nonprofit
program that has spent the past decade
building children

libraries and promoting literacy
and
education in some of the
world
’
s poorest regions.
Despite his love for books,there is
nothing bookish about a distance runner with
a fondness for the outdoors,Wood was on
a self-guided trek
(
长途艰苦旅行
)across Nepal in 1998
when
his
future
changed
from
the
more
usual
path
he
had
forged
as
a
Microsoft
marketing
executive.
On

21-day
trek,Wood
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
a

they chatted at a
teahouse,the official gave him an invitation to
visit a local they

While
Wood
was
touched
by
the
lack
of

resources,he
was
positively
heartbroken
by
what
passed
for
its
library:
The
ragged
collection
of
used
books
was
kept
under
lock
and
key,so
precious to the school were its
contents.
The headmaster looked at Wood
and asked
loud,
“
Perhaps,sir,you will
someday come back with
books.
”
Come back he with his father,Woody,and
nearly 1,000 pounds of then he
came
back
as
the
founder
of
a
nonprofit
program
to
provide
books,schools,and
libraries
in
Nepal.
“
The
hardest thing is that there are 50 more countries
that need Room to Read,
”
says Wood.
Room to Read,which opened
its 10,000th library earlier this year,raises all
of its funds
from private donors and
foundations.

When
I
first
met
Alexander
he
said
to
me
in
Russian:
“
Nalei
umye
chai
”
=
“
Pour
me
some
tea
”
.I
got
very
angry
and
1
,
“
Pour
it
yourself.
”
Translated
into
English
without
“
Could
you
...?
”
and a
“
please
”
,it
sounded really
2
to in
Russian it is fine
—
you
don
’
t have to
3
any polite words.
However,when
I
took
Alexander
home
to
meet
my
parents
in
the
UK,I
had
to
give
him
an
important
4
in pleases and thank yous,which he
thought were completely
5
,to teach him to say sorry
6
someone else stepped on
his toe,and to smile all the time.
Alexander
7
that in England he felt
“
like the village
idiot
”
8
in Russia if you
smile all
the time people think that you are
9
.In fact,this is exactly what my
husband
’
s
friends
thought
of
me
the
first
time
I
went
to
Russia,where
I
10
at
everyone,and
translated
every
“
please
”
and
“
thank
you
”
from English into
Russian!
Another thing that
Alexander just couldn
’
t
11
was why people said
things
like
“
Would
you
mind
passing
me
the
salt,please?
”
He <
/p>
said,
“
It
’
s
12
the
salt,for
goodness
’
sake!
”
He
also
watched
13
when
at
a
dinner
party
in
England,we
swallowed
some
really
14
food
and I said
“
Mm...
delicious
”
.In Russia,people
are much
more
15
.The first time
Alexander
’
s
mother
came
to
our
house
for
dinner
in
Moscow,she
told
me
that
my
soup
16
more
flavorings(
调
料
).Afterwards,when we
17
about it my husband
said,
“
Do you prefer your
dinner guests to
18
?
”
At house we now have an we are
speaking Russian,he can say
“
pour me some
tea
”
and just
make a
19
like a
grunt(
咕哝
) when I give it to
him.
20
,when we are
speaking
English,he has to add a
“
please
”
,a
“
thank
you
”
,and a smile.
