Tara Akshar - Literacy for India

This is a follow up for my previous post. The project that Victor Lyons started few years ago in India. The Project is called Tara Akshar.

"TARA Akshar has taught more adults to read in India in the last two years than any other adult literacy method. Over 55,000 illiterate women have graduated the TARA Akshar course and so learned to read and write in just over 35 days."

Empowering people... helping them to become more capable, able to make informed decisions - thats what the 3rd world need, not aimless aid.

Awesome!

At the presentation I saw at the TIRA/AMI Technical, Victor Lyons was talking about the Anti-shiness courses that he is thinking as a next stage from literacy and numeracy workshop.
