The Luka Reading Robot is a robot that will read picture storybooks out loud to children.

It comes with a charging cord, a story about Luka, and a sheet of Luka stickers.

All too often we can get caught up in our daily lives and forget to stop and appreciate the little things. When’s the last time you stopped to enjoy the warm sun on your face, or admire the beautiful colors of the green grass and fallen leaves outside? Today I challenge you to stop and take a moment – take it all in. What did you notice? Do you have a newfound appreciation for something?
Another topic we take for granted here in the U.S. is education. Every child gets the FREE opportunity to learn, but that’s not the case in many poverty-stricken countries. Many times young girls are forced to stop learning at ages of 11 or 12, and begin taking over the household chores and responsibilities. CARE.org is a global humanitarian organization that fights poverty by empowering girls and women, and they hope to encourage you to send a letter of hope today.
