Message from Steve Wozniak |
Message from a generous donor |
Steve Wozniak,
co-founder of Apple; Honorary Board Member Chair of Vision Literacy "It is disturbing to me to realize the number of people in our community who struggle daily to read. Reading skills are essential for improving the quality of one's life. As a child I enjoyed reading Tom Swift adventure books. I can't imagine my life had I not been able to read." |
"It's my privilege to assist Vision Literacy achieve its important mission to help adults in need of English instruction.
Clearly, in this country, without an adequate knowledge of English viable survival options may be severely limited. Therefore, thanks to you, and the work of Vision Literacy, for giving these adults a greater opportunity to succeed in life." Anonymous Donor December 2018 |

English As a Second Language
1 in 5 adults in the Silicon Valley area are functionally illiterate. This means they struggle getting through the day because they can't read well enough to order from a menu, fill out a job application or help their kids with homework. Corrections
