Happy Thanksgiving, 2007.<\/p>\n

On this day of giving thanks, it’s worthwhile to consider those less fortunate than us.<\/p>\n

In particular, consider children who now face a future with lowest literacy proficiency. These children need our help, and I have written an article about what you can do.<\/p>\n

If you had never learned to read or write, what would your world be like today? Can you imagine being surrounded by people who cannot read or write, or read or write well<\/em>?<\/p>\n

“Our Future Depends on Our Literacy<\/a>” challenges you to get involved with an organization that knows that our future depends on our literacy.<\/p>\n

Please read the article and then take action in whatever way works for you.<\/p>\n

Thank you. By giving a little, we can all get a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
