Just imagine for a minute not being able to read.
How would your life be different?
What kind of job would you have?
Where would you be living?
Honestly, I did not believe that there were many folks out there who could not read until I had a job where I hired over 600 people during a nine year period. You would be surprised at how many young men get passed along through our education system just because they can play a sport well. You would be surprised at the number of people who can’t fill out a job application properly.
What kind of job could you get if you couldn’t read? How would that impact your life?

Want to get involved in something that truly makes a difference? Call Shannon Cvitanovic at (504) 596-3842 and let her tell you about how you can change the life of another person for the better.
