Light Up Literacy is a program that teaches children the joy of g'milut chasadim (acts of loving kindness) and brings tikkun olam (social action and the pursuit of social justice) to Hanukkah.

The founders of Reading Village share a slide presentation of the organization's recent "service-learning" trip to rural Guatemala. Tikkun Olam is not a Mayan word but it is a central principle that guides their work.
