Why should we play our part?
How can we contribute?
When should we start contributing?
We should play our part in tackling Illiteracy as all illiterate individuals are potential builders of modern society. We ought to not be selfish and greedy towards the disadvantaged and instead, we should help them receive one of the most basic fundamental human right. The right to communicate.
Our world has addressed this issue and is working on to provide assistance to countries with low literacy rates. We believe that we could do more and support organisations targeted to increase literacy rates.
When should we start? Now, of course. We have to take immediate action, else our global economical and social state would never improve for the better. We can't live our lives gaining benefits for our own and neglect the lives in greater need of these benefits. Let us all come together and play our part to combat Illiteracy.
