The I AM Foundation stands for children, adults,
literacy, self-esteem, love and unity of all people. We are
committed to doing our part in creating the more loving and
peaceful world most of us all envision.
This organization was founded on the principle of generosity
and givingness. We know that all good comes back and there
is enough of everything for all of us to share and enjoy. The
I AM Foundation mission is inspiring millions of children and
adults worldwide by gifting them with educational books and
