-A blog is something private, and then again it is not, it is something shared, a moment or a thought, it need not be read by any to be needed by just one, this is my diary, my journal... this is my blog.-

Education and literacy being the primary goals, however there are other issues that can stem from these or the lack of. Our health and well being, our poverty levels and hunger, our human rights, our homeless as well as our environment and wildlife. The list does go on and basically everything is connected. By reaching out and giving to any area we are working to improve everything and the world around us.
Literacy - beginning with children learning to read and write, and the poor deprived, it filters through sometimes lacking in adults and wealth. What's the cure? Patience, sacrifice and love with the gift of words.
LITERACY FOR ALL - CHILDREN AND ADULTS, BOYS AND GIRLS, MEN AND WOMEN, IN SCHOOL AND OUT OF SCHOOL, ALL COMMUNITIES, RICH, POOR, RURAL, URBAN, ALL COUNTRIES, ALL THE WORLD.
For those who survive childhood, the path to a secure and happy future is still filled with obstacles. Children in developing nations have limited access to education, which limits opportunity and reduces potential.
Economic, social and cultural factors keep some 121 million children, especially girls, from attending school. Faced with difficult choices, parents often take girls out of school to care for younger siblings, help with household chores or work outside the home to contribute to family income. In the world's least developed countries, only 14 percent of secondary school enrollment is female.

- Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen.
