A dictionary teaches a child how to approach a problem and use critical thinking skills by sounding out the word and finding it in the dictionary. This simple task gives them a feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction that they cannot get online.

Ms. Mary French, Dictionary Project Director…

Rocky Point [New York] Rotarian Forrest Dunbar visited Haiti on a mission sponsored by a local church and distributed over 100 French-English dictionaries to students at a nearby school. The Dictionary Project has been a great success with our club, and we were happy to expand the program beyond our borders.
