Rewarding Community Literacy Heroes

Heroes are ordinary people who do extraordinary things! The Book Industry Association of Jamaica recently launched a campaign aimed at identifying local educators and volunteers working to improve reading and literacy. The objective is to find ordinary Jamaicans doing extraordinary things in their communities whether that is running a homework programme or hosting a reading group.

Director at the Book Industry Association of Jamaica, Latoya West-Blackwood and Teacher at the St. George’s Girls Primary School, Michelle Barrett-Simpson shares more about the initiative on Sunrise. Watch it here:
