Where The Solutions Lie
Our little boat traveled through the waters of a remote river in Northern Vietnam during the spring of 2002. We traveled through the bends of the river into a tiny village where our tourist group spent the night. We spent the night with a happy family, who cooked for us, and who showed us what it was like to be live in remote Vietnam. There was no running water. They cooked over an open flame. There were no books. (Read the rest of the post at chaplainandrews.com/where-the-solutions-lie )

International Literacy Day
http://portal.unesco.org/educa…
On International Literacy Day each year, UNESCO reminds the international community of the status of literacy and adult learning globally.
September 8 was proclaimed International Literacy Day by UNESCO on November 17, 1965. It was first celebrated in 1966. Its aim is to highlight the importance of literacy to individuals, communities and societies. On International Literacy Day each year, UNESCO reminds the international community of the status of literacy and adult learning globally. Celebrations take place around the world. Some 774 million adults lack minimum literacy skills; one in five adults is still not literate and two-thirds of them are women; 72.1 million children are out-of-school and many more attend irregularly or drop out.

It is distressing and staggering that in this day illiteracy is still alive and growing in numbers around the world. The immediate connection between illiteracy and poverty is clear. With specific mention to women, who make up two thirds of the illiterate population, this must change. janetjarrell.blogspot.com/
