While on a trip to the Himalayas, Wood visited a remote Nepalese school and learned that the students had few books in their library - "When he offered to run a book drive to provide the school with books, his idea was met with polite skepticism. ...But John Wood did return to that school and with thousands of books bundled on the back of a yak. And at that moment, Wood made the decision to walk away from Microsoft and create Room to Read - an organization that has donated more than 1.2 million books, established more than 2,600 libraries and 200 schools, and sent 1,700 girls to school on scholarship ultimately touching the lives of 875,000 children with the lifelong gift of education."
