The Pawtucket Times - Teacher takes on a global mission

The Pawtucket Times - Teacher takes on a global mission: "hen she broached the subject to her class and asked them if they would like to help her collect more books, they seemed confused. They simply couldn’t imagine a school without notebooks, pencils, computers, books, a revelation which gave Adriko Spillberg’s African literacy campaign a secondary objective. If a generation of African children was to embrace literacy, a generation of American children would have to understand and embrace the value of international philanthropy.

One day Adriko Spillberg removed all books, chalk, pencils and paper from her classroom in an attempt to demonstrate to her class what life was like for the typical African student. Her students got the picture."
