You will love to learn
the magic of words
I guarantee it
I'm going to make sure of it
I will teach you how to go where you've never been before
to places far and near
places found in fairy tales and fiction
places you've only dreamed about
but in 43 years could never see clear

Blessed is this day my brother
for through your pride, courage and determination
ignorance is gone
The world is yours through written information
It's the beginning of everything
Everything you will ever need
I'm honored and privledged
Teaching you to read

Heartbeat ,You know how I feel about this subject and this poem says it so well. Congratulations again on the appointment. :toast:

Thank you Mame :)

From my mother's mother, I know what hard work it is to teach adult literacy. This is nothing but love...My Grammy enjoyed working with them because she said most of them came to her, knowing what they needed and wanted, and were determined to learn. It was tough, sometimes but she never got tired of that little classroom. Very rewarding experience. But I know I don't have the patience.

My hat goes off to you, Heartbeat. This is nothing but love, here!

Shade :heart:

just meeting him and being able to flow in his hope and excitement about what being able to read will mean in his life has given me in return much more than I am giving him. Thank you Shade.

Public service, is at the foundation of what makes us strong as people. Loving your neighbor as yourself...most definitely, real love.

Bravo, BE! :)
