“Extra, extra!” In second grade my brother and I convened a family meeting to celebrate the launch of our first periodical, the E27 Times, proving that our grandfather’s political-journalist blood ran in our veins. I scrawled the happenings of the day on wide-ruled looseleaf, copied it over four or five times, and distributed the papers, wearing a grey Newsie cap and considering myself as persuasive a Bostonian as those Brooklyn salesmen. The Times turned into Spirit, an e-magazine with broader reach. As our subscriber list grew into the hundreds, I’i've realized that it has tremendous potential for good. The optional subscription fees subsidize the education of six children in India through the organization BigHelp for Education; it is surreal and heartwarming to hear from the children how much joy Spirit brings them. To go to school is a gift beyond measure to them and their delight and hope is priceless to me. My twin passions for writing and to increase access to education for least-favored communities around the worlds have only increased over time. My brother and I are deeply committed to increasing Spirit’s reach, and, by doing so, intend to sponsor the education of more and more children.
