September 8 is International Literacy Day designated by UNESCO in 1965.
The objective is to emphasize the importance of literacy to individuals, communities, and societies. There are nearly 800 million adults around the world do not know how to read, and 2/3 of those are women. More than 100 million children have no access to education. How tragic.
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Margaret Fuller
To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
A home without books is a body without soul.
Marcus Cicero
Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.
Mary Schmich
Support Literacy. It is important for all of us.
