We heard from the International Foundation Chair Brenda Cressey two weeks ago on how very close we are to eradicating Polio. As we express our joy and happiness at how Rotary and Rotarians worldwide have joined with other world health organizations in this fight, we look to a new International Foundation service project.
Together, We Read is a partnership of action taken between Rotary International and Save the Children to raise awareness about early learning and to make early literacy, (0-5-year olds,) and kindergarten readiness a central focus in our communities.
This new International Foundation project was first revealed at my PETS training back in Feb-ruary. At the International Assembly, where all the District Leadership meets with the incoming Rotary International President, Mark Daniel Maloney, he made it known that early childhood literacy was a concern. He further stated that we should begin a with a focus here in the United States. Four Districts were chosen to participate in the pilot program and District 5300 was one of the four!
Here are some troubling statistics from the Save the Children website:
Did you know that in the United States:
• 1 in 5 children grows up in poverty • Nearly 63% of low-income children do not attend preschool • 60% of children living in poverty have no books in their home
That means millions of children growing up in poverty in the U.S. enter kindergarten unpre-pared. Children who reach third grade not reading at that grade level are more likely to drop out of high school.
We are so fortunate to be a part of the pilot program. Our District Governor, Lu Arredondo, has taken this project and has worked on the development of the pilot program to begin in July.Our club will receive a kit with tools, banners and resources to help us with our rollout. Ad-ditionally, we are fortunate to already have a longtime action partnership with Spread the Word Nevada. Through our sponsorship of Will Beckley elementary school, we support the children with the Breakfast with Books monthly program and reading mentors who work one-on-one reading with the students. Our goal is that the two programs will blend together to provide books and mentorship opportunities for the 0-5-year olds our local Las Vegas community.
As more information is received from the District, I will deliver that information to the Board of Directors. For all of the club membership who would like to be involved, we will get the information to all of you as soon as possible. How exciting it will be to be able to potentially affect children’s literacy in the very early years, especially for those children who may not have easy access otherwise.
I am just thinking about how our Club Mission Statement is being realized more and more as each Rotary year passes!
