Literacy Freeze You Campaign

The Center for Literacy in Philadelphia is leaving a powerful imprint on the city. The organization held its first literacy flash mob called The Literacy Freeze. More than 400 volunteers met at the Municipal Services Plaza for the event. They were joined by a solid mission - to bring attention to the impact of low literacy by standing completely frozen - in one place - for two minutes. UNESCO reports that one in five adults is not literate and 75 million children are out-of-school and many more attend irregularly or drop out. A big shout out to Philly's Center for Literacy and its efforts to raise awareness on the empowering role of literacy in our day-to-day lives. Check out the video to learn more.
