LEARN MORE ABOUT ROTARY PROMOTING EDUCATION
September is Basic Education & Literacy Month in Rotary. Our organization does a lot around the world to improve access to education, battle illiteracy and make it a positive experience at every age level. Unfortunately, 67 million children have no access to education and more than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. It’s a complex issue that includes challenges related to health, nutrition, technology and so much more. Rotary Clubs around the world raise funds for the cause and clubs in areas of need are doing hands-on work to implement programs designed around individual community needs. It’s what make Rotary so successful in all of their ventures!

One organization helping fight illiteracy is CNY Books for the World, started by a Rotarian in Skaneateles and now a global effort. Learn more at www.cnybooksfortheworld.org. Just this past spring, Baldwinsville Rotary sponsored two palettes of books to help with shipping costs.
