In Rotary we recognize March as literacy Month. This is when we focus on the importance of literacy and education in our humanitarian service.
In our club’s locality most children follow a basic education and will learn how to read and to write. “Being literate does not just mean the ability to read a book or a news paper. Being literate means being able to comprehend the instructions on a medicine bottle, a set of directions, or a job posting”. Literacy means being part of the larger society. It means inclusion, and it means empowerment”. (Excerpt from G.E. Estess Sr., Foundation trustee chair, March 2010 message on literacy.)
