Project Impact
Description
An annual story-writing contest open to all children age 7-11 living in the Caribbean. The project promotes literacy development (writing skills), shares the culture of the Caribbean, and provides literacy resources to schools in need. Each year, the selected stories are published in a book (versions in English, French, Creole, and Spanish) that is provided to local schools and libraries. A key goal of this project, which involves students and Rotarians in 10 countries of the Northern Caribbean, is promoting international and cultural understanding.
