SEP - 8TH - WORLD LITERACY DAY
"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories.
Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity.
Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right...
Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential."
"We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading."
"When you give a book you don't give him just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue – you give him a whole new life."
