Subject: [FamilyLiteracy 1581] Whom do we serve?










After? my last set of ?message earlier today, I was beginning to wonder what impact they would have, if any, and it occurred to me that maybe no-one really reads these lists in the first place, so what was I doing?

Then out of the blue I received a phone call from someone in a Family Literacy program in another state who called to thank me for a few of my messages. 

It seems that she and the others in the program are members of the list, and at times discuss the content of these lists during meetings. My views on the "under-served' struck home, and she explained the particular situation that she and her colleagues faced, especially re: funding. You see, her program apparently does not get its fair share, so the teachers have to raise their own funds by hook or by crook.

She explained that her progam had a waiting list of 150 families.

Related to this is the point Michael Tate discussed, namely: "the priorities of most funders."

I believe that Family LIteracy is or should be the most important aspect of Adult Literacy, and in my own way, as an individual, am promoting it as best I can. I teach in the homes of my students, usually low - income women, with kids.

So, I would like to repeat an offer that I made before, but only for Family Literacy programs. If you are interested in receiving by snail mail copies of my cds and texts free of charge and copyright free, write to me off list. Copyright free means you can make copies with my permission. The cds are basic English and are bilingual. One cd is a copy of my website.
