The Human Development
Programme in Pakistan held
a walk in the Swabi District
to raise awareness about
literacy and enrollment in
school. At the end, children,
particularly girls, were
enrolled during a special
ceremony.
Students from Cayman Prep and High School and
Cayman Prep Primary School helped collect nearly 2,000
books for the nonprofit Literacy Is For Everyone (LIFE),
which is working with the Ministry of Education to set
up libraries in every government school classroom in
the Cayman Islands. Pictured from left is Brad Wilson,
ILA member and Ministry of Education literacy specialist,
with Marilyn Conolly, executive director of LIFE, Key Club
students, and teacher Allison Smith.
