Literacy Resources
------------------
Earlier this year, a question was posted to AFRO-NETS asking
about literacy resources and organizations implementing literacy
projects.
The following information was included in Issue #62 (March 2005)
from Footsteps, "a [free] quarterly newsletter linking develop-
ment workers around the world" produced by the Tearfund in the
UK.
Last time I looked, this issue had not yet been uploaded to
Tearfund's site, where it can be downloaded as a PDF file. Check
back at http://www.tilz.info/frameset.asp and click on Footsteps
on the left.
In the meantime, here are some of the web sites mentioned in the
newsletter:
