Happy Flag Day!
As we celebrate Flag Day, let us not forget the importance of education in maintaining the freedoms and liberty that our flag stands for. “Literacy unlocks the door to learning throughout life, is essential to development and health, and opens the way for democratic participation and active citizenship.” ~ Kofi Annan
“[The READ Center] has helped me pronounce words and to seek out other words that I might not have tried to use. I thank the tutors for their patience and willingness to help with a glad heart. It means a lot to me, being a student.”
“I volunteer because reading has been a blessing in my life, and I enjoy sharing my passion with others who hope to feel the same comfort and joy with books. Volunteers feel that we receive more than we give.”
“I am glad that I came to The READ Center because it has changed my life completely and it has been a joy to learn and I am going to continue to learn as much as I can. It’s been kind of hard working a full-time job and coming to The READ Center, but I’m not going to quit!”
