International Literacy Day

September 8th is International International Literacy Day. While there aren't too many UN programs I would get behind, this is one of them.

• At least 1 in 7 people in the world cannot read.
• 776 million adults are illiterate.
• 75 million children are out of school.
• 30 million adults in the U.S. possess below-basic literacy skills.
