In a few hours, we are interviewing Rayna Dineen at Awakin Calls. She is founder of Reading Quest, a non-profit based in Santa Fe,that provides free structured literacy tutoring and social emotional skills to hundreds of undersupported, struggling young readers. Meeting Amma, the Indian "hugging saint" was a turning point in Rayna's life, that inspired her to a path of selfless service. Here is a short inspiring clip about their work -- 

And hosting the call is our volunteer Melissa Stephens, a big-hearted elementary school teacher for last 29 years. Every day at roll call, she looks into each student's eyes with a smile and whispers "I see you". In her own words, she is "excited and nervous about the call, which always feels like the best combo."  Join live here.
