Rotary Club Hears From Special Speaker
ZANESVILLE, Ohio-The noon Rotary Club of Zanesville met today at Bryan’s Place to hear a special presentation from assistant Rotary governor Timothy Shear.
Shear has devoted the last twenty-four years of his life to helping bring up childhood literacy rates in Mongolia. He says that Mongolia is a fascinating place where better literacy could help the less advantaged.
“It is one of the last remaining pastoral economies on Earth, meaning people, to use American English, ranch for a living. A million of those folks live out in the rather rural area, and Rotary has been very helpful in meeting the challenge of meeting the needs of some of these families who are economically disadvantaged by putting books in the hands of these children that are eager to learn.”, Shear told WHIZ.
