Cosmocamp Partners up with Room to Read to Help Develop Literacy Skills and Provide Quality Education to Children

Quebec City, December 9, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Starting on the 27th of November, parents all over the world will be able to purchase a special ‘CosmoCamp Storybooks Bundle’ on Apple’s App Store, and $1 of each sale will go towards supporting Room to Read. The campaign will last for one year and all the money raised will be used to provide children in Asia and Africa with educational opportunities and support the development of key literacy skills and reading habits. This includes providing quality reading materials, establishing learning spaces, providing teacher training and support, and building community and government partnerships.

"Having fun while learning is at the heart of CosmoCamp’s mission and core values, so we are proud and happy to contribute to helping children in need develop key literacy skills," concludes Steve Couture, CEO of Frima.

The CosmoCamp apps were built with specialists from a renowned Canadian university to offer parents meaningful, skill-building, yet fun, child-oriented apps, so it was natural to partner with this highly-awarded kids franchise. At Room to Read, we know that partnerships make big things possible, and we know that CosmoCamp's support will introduce our work to new audiences in a very creative way.
