The Loves Park Rotary Club has been distributing the dictionaries to Harlem students since 2007. The Dictionary Project is great!

Leominster is a community of modest means – when the children receive a dictionary, they can hardly believe that it is theirs to keep.

We personally deliver books to each classroom and use the tool box approach telling the students that the dictionary is a tool for learning just as a hammer or saw is a tool for a carpenter.

This is the 3rd year the Rotary Club of Franklinton has participated with this project. Very honored to be able to deliver the dictionaries to all 3rd grade students in our school district. Great project! Goes hand in hand with Rotary service projects to combat illiteracy!

The children are so excited to be given a... Read More

Our project is called “Change for Change.” Women’s Ministry is donating their spare change at Bible Studies to pay for the books.
