Google recently launched “The Literacy Project,” a website designed to bring together reading resources for students, educators, and literacy organizations. In it you can find a video using scenes from a Bollywood movie to read along to, academic papers on dyslexia, and links to related web logs. There is also a section showing locations of literacy organizations worldwide.

At the moment, the Philippines has only one entry, the Notre Dame Foundation for Charitable Activities Women in Enterprise Development (WED) in Cotabato City. Hooray for them. Hopefully more local organizations will discover this site and take part in sharing and learning how to combat illiteracy.
