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.

Pam Ali, Rotary Club of Somerville, Bridgewater, Bridgewater, NJ

This is a very rewarding program. Our Rotary Club has been participating for several years now and the joy, excitement and appreciation from the children is wonderful! It reinforces that our decision to participate was an excellent one! I encourage all members to attend the distribution at least once to share and experience our satisfaction and the children’s appreciation personally. I would definitely encourage any group considering this project to go for it and do it for the children!
