“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.”

Alan Walters, District Governor 2009-2010, Rotary District 7770, Georgetown, SC

This project began in Georgetown County during the 1999-2000 school year by the county’s Rotary Clubs and has delivered more than 10,000 dictionaries to area students. This is a wonderful program, and I am excited that it is based in our Rotary District.
