Board Option Award-Sue Goatley-2021 Freedom Through Literacy

Board Option Award – $400

Sue Goatley – “Jabulani Community Literacy Programme”
ZAMBEZI REGION, VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE

Often times, a student without the proper support early in their schooling, may struggle to obtain the foundational literacy skills to advance their formal education. Sue Goatley, with her organization Children in the Wilderness, established an after school community literacy program for teenagers to change that outcome in the rural Zambezi region. We honor Sue with a Board Option Award to support her efforts in bringing essential reading skills to Zimbabwean youth.

“We look forward to adding vital literary resources to the library. The addition of books both from an adult literacy and locally relevant perspective will create long lasting impacts for this group that will be felt for years to come.” – Sue Goatley
