Knowing how to read and write can transform a person’s life. These basic skills, which so many of us take for granted, can mean a job, an income, and hope for a better future for those who are struggling to break the cycle of poverty. |

| That’s why Rotary has focused on promoting literacy for more than two decades, and why The Rotary Foundation has provided millions of dollars to support literacy projects. |

March is Rotary Literacy Month. We highlight literacy and education issues around the world. March is an excellent opportunity for Rotary clubs in District 5050 to raise awareness about literacy, launch new literacy initiatives and projects, and recognize literacy accomplishments in your community. I encourage Rotarians in District 5050 to participate in Rotary Literacy Month by engaging in activities that specifically address literacy and education issues either locally or internationally.
