Photo of the Day: Free Gift Wrapping Downtown by Santa Cruz High Students

Now you can get a service downtown that was once available only at malls. It's free, but if you choose to donate, the money goes to help people learn to read in Bangladesh.

Santa Cruz High School students spent Sunday wrapping gifts in return for donations to help people in Bangladesh read.

They are part of the school's Interact Club.

Why Bangladesh?

"It has the highest illiteracy rate in the world," said Heather Henry, 17.

The students will be out every weekend day until Christmas.
