I was selected to be a World Book Giver in the USA and I applied to have books brought to my friends from many nations and the center that works tirelessly to support their literacy efforts. Yusuf Soule, the Director of the Center, gives much time from his life to find funding that offers extra curricular and adult education to relocated populations of central, New York. When I read about the World Book give away opportunity, I knew I wanted to thank his center for the hard work they do. They are a phenomenal organization worthy of such an honor.
Locations like the North Side Learning Center in Syracuse, New York, are extremely important for the adjusting lives of refugees who are brought to the United States from war-torn countries around the world. When such individuals arrive they bring tremendous enthusiasm to learn how to read and write in English. They desire a better life in a new country and, often, it is literacy that will help them. Individuals like Yusuf Soule bring the greatest hope because of their dedicated efforts. Those served by the center are deserving recipients of World Book Night and the selected texts, The Phantom Tollbooth, that will be added to their reading library.
