Interactive

It’s hard to believe that more than a year has passed since Interactive launched. The first issue was published in September 2006 and focused on literacy. As 2007 draws to a close, we dedicate our November/December issue to looking back at the progress made by the Rotarians and others we covered in some of our early issues. Our feature piece focuses on Emine Yüzay, a young woman whose tenacity in learning to read inspired Rotarians around the globe to help her overcome her disability. See how her story continued.
