Allie Gonino Instagram – Some of the most important work I’ve done thus far was being apart of fundraising teams with my pals, benefitting the international non-profit organization, @buildon . I believe everyone – especially young girls – have the unalienable right to an education. The ability to read and write is paramount to a person, a city, a nation’s growth and prosperity. Did you know the U.S. illiteracy rate among adults is 21%? That’s roughly 63 million adults in America who don’t know how to read and/or write. 63 million Americans who can’t experience the magic and transformative power of a book, or who cannot free their souls because they don’t know how to write. 54% of #americans have a literacy rate below sixth-grade level. I dream of a world where not only everyone knows how to read and write, but they have the courage to write better stories for themselves than their ancestors. I pray people learn that we really are the masters of our fate, the captains of our souls, and that we are worth it. I dream of a world where kindness is power, and knowledge is a virtue. I pray people get creative and really start LIVING not just watching, judging, and attacking each other from behind these tiny screens. I pray we remember the reason we came to be. I pray we wake up before it’s too late. | Posted on 18/Aug/2023 08:39:46
