Hello Daphne,

Thanks for bringing this up. I've been traveling all week so I apologize
for the belated reply. I did watch it and thought it was a wonderful
opportunity to bring adult literacy into the spotlight. For those who
would like to view the CNN clip it is online at:

x.html

 

I think we should be doing more to cultivate champions and to educate
the general public about the critical need for adult literacy in our
country. I realize it's not every day that we have the opportunity to
work with celebrities; but there are many kinds of champions. I wonder
what others here are doing to nurture adult literacy champions in their
communities?

 

Comments?

I wasn't able to watch this feature. Did anyone have a chance to watch
it-if yes, how was it?

past spring.
