Taking Reading for Granted No Longer - GFA Blog

As an educator and an author, I don't take reading for granted anymore. However, before I entered these professions, I did. It was something you just "did." Pick up the newspaper, a book, an application for a job, and you just simply read it. Slow or fast, well or not so much, you read it.

Yet, for many people around the world, probably millions, reading is something foreign. They think, "Reading is like lying to Jupiter. There may be people out there with huge intellects working on that, but I'm never going to go. It's too hard." So, they just flounder in a world of words and the printed page.

Then you have people who fall into this camp because of cultural mores. Like peasants in the Middle Ages, being led astray by manipulative people who can read and can tell them what everything supposedly says and means, these people are at the mercy of the educated.

Enter Dayita.

Fortunately, two women soon offered just the help she needed.

Ashna and Neha, believers from the local Women’s Fellowship, had started a literacy class in Dayita’s area. Determined to keep her money safe, Dayita began attending the sessions—and to her surprise, Kaamil supported her.
