Join Us -- We are launching a national 2009 Raise Literacy Media Campaign
Latinograduate.net and its partners are launching a 2009 Raise Literacy campaign to promote literacy in the Latino community nationwide. This national Latino Literacy Initiative is being sponsored to build a network, throughout the nation, with parents, educational leaders and policy makers to address the growing literacy crisis in Latino community.
The 2009 Raise Literacy campaign is being sponsored to address the severe crisis in literacy within the Latino community. More than 50% of Latino students drop out of high school and more than 65% of Latino males fail to complete the 10th grade. This is a crisis of national proportions and will only be addressed when our Latino community coalesces its resources to address this issue head on.
Our second Raise Literacy conference planning committee meeting will be Feb. 19, 09 in the city of Burbank, CA. If you wish to become a member and join us in upcoming meetings,let us know.
Interested in being a sponsor, advertiser, member and supporter in the campaign email Dr. Zulmara Cline, Ph.D. & Armando Sanchez at raiseliteracy@gmail.com
This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.
