During Literacy Month in March, Rotarians are encouraged to use club and district resources to take on and strengthen literacy efforts. Rotarians have supported literacy initiatives through a wide range of projects, including donating desks and supplies to schoolchildren, building community libraries, and tutoring at after-school clinics. If you’re looking for new ways to get involved in a literacy project, consider collaborating with an organization that has a cooperative relationship with Rotary International. The Dollywood Foundation supports early childhood literacy through its Imagination Library program, and the International Reading Association works with local councils and affiliates to promote literacy worldwide.
By supporting literacy in your communities and around the world, you provide fundamental skills and new opportunities to some of the nearly 800 million people who cannot read or write. Your investment exemplifies the RI theme, Building Communities — Bridging Continents.
