Literacy has always been and remains the corner stone and key to unlocking individual potential and success in every aspect. Although South Africa has made progress we need to go further faster, apart from all else there is huge potential for tourism and we need to foster and promote these vital skills. Through our association with Penguin Random House we use our workshops in the most effective ways introducing current authors to encourage our candidates to read well and as diversely as possible.
