Happy International Literacy Day! Today is a great day to celebrate literacy, but also to reflect on the riches that being literate has brought to each of us, our families and our communities. Of course it’s a great day for those of us who want to celebrate, but what about the one in five adults who aren’t literate? And what about the 67.4 million children who don’t have the chance to attend school? There are so many ways to support literacy in your community with programs like “Raise a Reader”, nationally through organizations like ABC Life Literacy Canada, Literacy USA and internationally via UNESCO and CODE. If we all do a small part to give others a chance to celebrate life with literacy, we’ll make our world a better place.
