Molly is a sophomore in high school and a member of the Los Angeles Eschscholtzia C.A.R. Society. She has chosen for her project to work with the Military Program of United Through Reading. United Through Reading is an organization that works to maintain family unity and child- parent relationships while a parent is deployed in the United States Armed Forces. Some deployments can last for over a year at a time, creating anxiety in children about their parent’s safety, and in young children preventing them from having any memories or recognition of their parent. United Through Reading facilitates relationships between children and parents by training units to record service members reading to their children. These mini DVDs are sent home, sometimes with the corresponding book, and when the family receives a video they are encouraged to send back pictures or videos of the child’s reaction, creating a full circle of communication. This allows children to have voice and face recognition with their parents, and allows the father or mother to parent from afar, as well as empowering children to read on their own, and encouraging imagination.
