DISTRICT 9350 LITERACY COMMITTEE
The Literacy Committee plans on compiling a list of the various literacy projects being undertaken by clubs in our District. If the project that your club is involved in is not listed below, please contact me so that I can add it to the list. If your club is interested in starting a literacy project, please contact the club currently involved in the project you may be interested in – they will be able to guide you in their successes and also warn you of possible danger areas.
In the table below I have listed only one club involved in a particular project. In actual fact, some of these projects are being run by a number of clubs. If you would like your club’s name to be added to the list, please contact me.
Together we hope to increase the literacy levels in our countries.
