Literacy is a Human Right

According to ayyaantuu.com, the literacy rate in Ethiopia was among the ten lowest in the world in 2013. 

We're fighting for a human right using Role Models in Literacy.  The ability to read and write is essential in order to succeed in the world today, a world that's becoming more reliant on technology.  In Ethiopia, mobile phones are popping up everywhere. Before the citizens of Ethiopia can use technology to their advantage, it's important for them to emphasize the importance of literacy.

Those who can't read or write are “destined to be on the social and economic margins of our world.”

Role Models in Literacy: Boston (VIDEO)

Here it is, the second RMIL video produced by me.  For all of you who've seen the first video of Shyah (if you haven't seen the first video, be sure to check it out), this is her sister named Boston!  She's a sixth grade student (four years older than her sister, Shyah), so she just started going to a middle school this year.  Enjoy!
