BFA Executive Director Keynote Speaker at World Literacy Summit in Oxford, United Kingdom
The paths to bring bright futures to the children of Africa are many and varied. At Books For Africa, we see education and reading as the keys to building the promise of these bright futures.
From April 1st-4th, 2012, leaders in the international community that believe in the power of reading will come together in Oxford, United Kingdom, at the World Literacy Summit to discuss how reading can change the future.
The Summit is an opportunity to “build greater awareness of the international literacy crisis and create a platform for delegates to collaborate, share ideas, learn from one another and be united in a call to action and a plan for change.” Speakers will enlighten Summit attendees on what has and has not worked in building global literacy, new developments in education, and the possibilities for post-Millennium Development Goals education.
What better organization to contribute to the dialogue than Books For Africa? Dr. Patrick Plonski, BFA Executive Director will be keynote speaker discussing research on the returns to investment in donated education materials and other educational delivery models.
