Literacy and Health
There are many global development issues in which education and literacy can play an important part but never before has the link between health and literacy been more prominent than it is today…literacy can be a valuable tool to help fight these scourges.

Guess Who!
This Young Patriot grew up on the levees of New Orleans, hunting alligators for food and helping with household chores. Her days were highlighted with playing with her brother, Peter, riding the sugar cane train, and singing in her church choir—the youngest member at age 5!
Which Young Patriot became known as the Queen of Gospel?
Mahalia Jackson !
As she sang this Sunday morning, one grown-up person after another stopped singing just to listen too her. Finally she was the only person left signing in the entire church.
At the end of the services, the choir director said to Mahalia’s father, “May we have Mahalia sing in the choir?” In reply, her father smiled and said, “I reckon so, if you want her but she is a mighty little girl to sing in a choir.”
—from Mahalia Jackson,
Gospel Singer and Civil Rights Champion
