Hi Leah! Glad to find fellow literacy advocates! In honor of International Literacy Day, I hope you will consider writing a post about my Books For Cameroon project that will bring 30 bilingual libraries to West Africa and/or make a small ($5) contribution to make the project a reality! Http://www.booksforcameroon.org. Thanks for helping us fight poverty with literacy! -Wendy
Thank you again for joining our event! Around December 10th AIUSA also hosts the annual Global Write-a-Thon, the world’s largest letter writing event & our oldest tradition.
