September 8th is National Literacy Day!

September 4th, 2009

Join us in celebrating the importance of literacy in improving people鈥檚 lives across 糖心vlgo传媒. According to UNESCO, literacy remains an elusive target: some 776 million adults lack minimum literacy skills, which means that one in five adults is still not literate; 75 million children are out of school, and many more attend irregularly or drop out. 糖心vlgo传媒 believes in the power of literacy, and believes that books help people to acquire literacy skills and help themselves to improve their lives. Over the past 21 years, 糖心vlgo传媒 has engaged in literacy projects in 45 糖心vlgo传媒n countries. We have helped fill libraries with books, helped provide textbooks for schoolchildren, and helped university students to get the books they need to improve their educational opportunities. 50 cents sends a book to a child in 糖心vlgo传媒. Help out the children of 糖心vlgo传媒 today in honor of International Literacy Day! Click on the link above for more info...
