     Adam Braun established the organization pencils of Promise in 2008. Its goal is to make sure all children have a chance for education. Six years later, the non-profit group is building a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22,000 children in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

     It all started when Adam Braun was a college student. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him on the street, the boy asked for money. Mr. Braun asked the boy what he would want, if he could have anything in the world.

     “I thought the answer was going to be a house or a car or a boat. However, his answer was a pencil. So I gave him my pencil and he just lit up with joy. I realized he never had been to a school before, and that was the reality for 57 million children around the world,” Braun said,

      Adam Braun started working in finance after he graduated from college. But he never forgot the boy and the problem he represented.

      Mr. Braun raised money for his project by using social media. He paid for building the first Pencils of Promise school, in Laos, five years ago. Since then, his group has helped pay for more than 200 schools in rural areas of Laos, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Ghana.

      Adam Braun decided to expand his organization’s work beyond elementary school level. Pencils of Promise developed financial plans to help students continue on to secondary school and teacher training.

     “We are really serious about making sure that the programs are not just beautiful photos and videos of kids, but that we are actually seeing incredible results in the classroom. And if we are not seeing results, then we need to change our programs. That’s why our kids in Pencils of Promise schools progress from one grade to the next at two times the national average,” Braun said,
