Rotary donates dictionaries to Pentecost Primary Schools

The Rotary Club of Vanuatu Grassroots (RCVGR) based in Port Vila have donated dictionaries to two primary schools on the island of Pentecost in a recent visit to that part of the island by its club member, Pastor Shem Tema.

Pangi primary school on the south of Pentecost and Ranwas primary school on the eastern part of Pentecost. In receiving a dictionary each, both the Head Mistress of Pangi Primary School and Head Master of Ranwas Primary School were delighted for the generous assistance, and thank the Rotary Club of Vanuatu Grassroots for choosing their school as recipient of these dictionaries.

RCVGR is considering more donations to other rural schools in the future, particularly to assist students with their learning and, most significantly, to assist in the development of literacy in Vanuatu. A one dictionary per school is the beginning and RCVGR, based on monitoring and evaluating success of these dictionaries, may consider increasing quantity of dictionaries per school to suit where there is demand.

The Usborne Illustrated Dictionaries is a project developed in partnership with the Rotary International to support its goal to development of literacy worldwide. These dictionaries contain over 1000 superb color illustrations, friendly and simple English language making it easier to understand.
