Port Alfred Literacy Project

The lack of good reading skills is a major problem in Africa. I think I mentioned in an earlier post that Dian is preparing to teach a Literacy class for our Branch members. One of our good friends here, Pat Whitfield, has also organized a group of women from the local Rotary Club to teach Literacy at the local grade schools here. They asked me to take a series of photographs of their efforts which they would like to be part of a presentation they are preparing. Below are a few of those pictures. I do have to say that some of the most special experiences I have had here in South Africa have been during visits to schools throughout the country. The children have simply stolen my heart. Below are a couple of pictures Pat as she conducts her class, and some of those cute, cute children.
