I've already communicated this information to Dr. Sinclair, but for  
others on the list who may need this information in the future, I  
recommend our literacy hotline at D.C. LEARNs for information on  
literacy programs or opportunities to volunteer for literacy in the  
Washington, D.C. area:

1-866-732-3688

Our searchable D.C. literacy program database is also available online:
