There are an enormous amount of people in the world that are illiterate. The statements above show how important and influential literacy education is. I discovered an outstanding program called ProLiteracy that believes the promotion of literacy will bring an end to poverty. The mission of this program is, “ProLiteracy champions the power of literacy to improve the lives of adults and their families, communities, and societies. They envision a world in which everyone can read, write, compute, and use technology to lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives.” It is extremely important for adults and children to be literate. I think this program is awesome and I am glad there are similar programs geared towards helping people and making differences in the world. Have you ever come across programs like this one but did not take time to learn more about them? Click on the link below to find out how this program has made many differences in the world. It gives people the opportunity to learn how to promote literacy and become a member, advocate or even donate money!
