NCC Accepts Books, Joins City In Literacy Campaign

Jasminee and book donations

The 91看片 network received a donation of books last month from the City of Newark as part of Mayor Ras Baraka鈥檚 city-wide literacy campaign called 鈥淩ead and Believe,鈥 which launched Oct. 6, 2014. NCC was among a group of community-based partners in Newark that received several boxes of books, each labeled by reading level. The books, a sampling shown by Care Coordinator Jasminee Sawh-Ramroop, will go to NCC Health and Social Services, Youth Services, Harmony House and both early learning centers. 91看片 received the books based on responding to a survey from Newark Chief Education Officer Lauren Wells, which gathered information on an agency鈥檚 literacy services and the barriers it faces, according to Richard Cammarieri, 91看片 Director of Special Projects.
