My Fellow Rotarians,

On this the 50 Anniversary of International Literacy Day, observed since 1966 by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO, under the Theme: Reading The Past Writing The Future. 

I encourage all Rotarians to join  in making this month dedicated to Basic Education & Literacy  memorable by making reading part of your daily task. As we embark on a month long reading marathon and schedule, let us engage Teachers, Students, adults, children, workers, volunteers bystanders and onlookers in our efforts to ensure a generation that is able to read, write and add fully, one that is literate and having the ability to count.

While statistics worldwide indicate 1 in 8 persons are unable to read or write, with our efforts and that of our partners, we will be doing our part to contribute to a steady decline when we get involved. I welcome your efforts, energy and enthusiasm as we launch what will be a exciting campaign to Reading The Past Writing The Future in Eleuthera and beyond.
 

YiRs,

President Colin Moss
