RCGC successfully executed the 10th edition of its flagship literacy initiative, the R.E.A.D. (Read Every Day and Discover) project, titled “Pages of Potential" in collaboration with Rotary Georgetown Central and the Interact Clubs of Queen's College and The Bishops High School.
The event focused on promoting literacy and inclusivity for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Interactive literacy sessions were guided by teaching experts including Anjalena Beshpatty, Founder and Director of Sameir! Uniquely Me, Marcia Smith, Headteacher and Founder of The Gifted Hands Learning Centre, and Yolanda Williams, Headmistress of the David Rose Special School. These experts, along with their assisting teachers, provided a unique experience tailored to meet the children’s learning needs. The project also included the donation of sensory toys, educational materials, and learning tools for eighty-five (85) children, aimed at enhancing their literacy skills while supporting their caregivers.
