Education Week Brings Volunteer Readers & Children Together

Blind, Visually Impaired and Sighted Readers Start Reading Program at Local Recreation Center

National Industries for the Blind (NIB) is continuing its efforts to promote participation in President and Mrs. Obama's United We Serve: Summer of Service program. This week is featured as "Education Week" under the Unite We Serve (www.serve.gov).

Eight volunteers from NIB are reading to children ages 5 to 12. In setting up Education Week, NIB discovered a need for ongoing tutoring for children who attend the Charles Houston Recreation Center after school. NIB is now working on a sustained program to meet this need.
