The Picture a Book Changing Lives project from Penguin's Riverhead Press:
Inspired by readers around the world who have embraced and shared Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, Riverhead Books is asking for your help in an effort to picture a book changing lives.
Starting June 15th and continuing through August 31st 2010 (11:59:59 PM Eastern Time) when you visit this campaign page and join the “Hosseini” group you can upload photos of yourself reading or holding a copy of either The Kite Runner or A Thousand Splendid Suns. For each eligible photo (limit two still photographs per Penguin Community account) that is uploaded to the group, Riverhead Books will donate $2.00 (up to a maximum $25,000 donation) to the Khaled Hosseini Foundation, a charity dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan.
