This month I continued to heal from all my surgeries. Another painful month with my shoulders causing me stress and pain.
I celebrated International Literacy Day 2021 online with the World Literacy Foundation.
I attended the World Pulse Community Mentor Midpoint Check In Zoom webinar with other mentors and mentees.
For the second time I applied to participate as a World Literacy Foundation Ambassador with the World Literacy Foundation. My application was successful.
