it's not too late... for a daily International Literacy Day

http://pinksplotch.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-not-too-late-for-daily.htm…

I forgot that September 8 is 2009 International Literacy Day... Anyway, i guess it's not too late to blog about literacy (or illiteracy) - It's an issue we face every day, and i certainly hope we all could read something about this issue every single day.

The Temple of Learning

http://cjwriter.com/2009/09/08/the-temple-of-learning/

That’s why literacy is so important to me, not just as a writer but as a person; I know how frustrating it is to feel like you’re being left behind, and the joy when all those hours of hard work finally pay off.

  • 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.
