Woman's World Magazine

The Woman's World June 27,2000 issue was excellent. The recipies were great, But the
stories in this issue was absolutely well written as well as informative.

I volunteer my time at a small Private School in town. The majority of the children
are foster kids or have trouble in school. Most parents place them there because they are
behind. My own son struggled in public school and I tried a couple of other private schools
before I found this one.

The story that really got to me was It's never too late to learn. What an incredible story of
how a 41 year old woman who was finally given the time from a stranger to learn how to read.
She had lived her life in fear of having to read and the shame of not
knowing how, and the heartache she felt when she couldn't read to her children.

Out of desperation she called her local library and asked for help. The library said that they
had a literacy program and helped her to get involved. She was able to learn to read with this
great act of kindness from a volunteer.
What an inspiring story. I know now that I must continue volunteering myself so that these
children will have the opportunity to read and the precious gift of words. I could not imagine
life without them.


There was also another story which touched my heart Two blessings in one day. That story
told of a very special bond between sisters. I'm going to buy another copy of this magazine
and mail it to my own sister.
The medical updates were very informative. I'm going to ask my doctor about some of the
new tests . It's better to be safe than sorry.
