Anne and her family have organized seven annual trips with the founders of GLP and other volunteers to promote literacy in rural communities outside Johannesburg, South Africa. She and the GLP volunteers have built libraries, remodeled classrooms, conducted teacher training programs, distributed books, and organized partnerships between New Jersey schools and South African schools. She continues to organize book drives and fundraising efforts for GLP and plans to return to South Africa.
