Following his highly acclaimed first book, Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, John Wood tells the story of what happened when Room to Read began to scale beyond his wildest dreams.

Creating Room to Read looks at the organisation's challenges - from managing expansion to raising money in a collapsing economy. At its heart it shares the moving stories of the impoverished children Room to Read helps.

You are invited to meet and think with John Wood, founder and co-chair of Room to Read.

Enjoy a drink at Berkelouw's Cafe 1812 during the event and $ 1.00 will be donated to Room to Read.

Bookings are essential and can be made by calling 9360 3200 or be email to paddington@berkelouw.com.au.

This is a free event.
