"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society...Literacy is a platform for demostration, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity...Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential." ---Kofi Annan

“Maybe he is right. She could use whatever help she could get. The idea of looking for faeries went against every rule she’d ever learned, but she was going to do it, to try it. It was better than waiting. I need to try something. Do something.”
