Thought for the day, Friday 8th September

INTERNATIONAL LITERACY DAY

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”

Frederick Douglass

“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… For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right…. Literacy is the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.”

Kofi Annan
