"Literacy empowers people. It is the foundation for virtually all forms of education and an essential component of poverty reduction, social inclusion and economic development. Despite the importance of literacy, there are more than 800 million people unable to read or write in the world today and 64% are women and girls."
Let's celebrate International Literacy Day on September 8, 2007 by joining the D-3830 Rotary Academy Literacy Seminar on the same day at the AIM Conference Center 12nn to 5pm.
Let us all be a part of the campaign for literacy!
