Walk-A-Mile for Literacy
Hemet Public Library
September 25, 2010
9 am – 11 am
Raise money and awareness at the 5th annual Walk-A-Mile for Literacy, Hemet Public Library.
Participants walk a mile-long route around downtown Hemet. They stop at banks and restaurants and experience what it's like to not be able to write a check or read a menu.
"We want to bring awareness to the community of what it's like to live with illiteracy every day," said Lori Eastman, literacy coordinator at Hemet Public Library.
Eugene Cruz , 33, of San Jacinto, volunteered at Walk-A-Mile last year and is a literacy tutor."I really appreciate how hard these students try to learn," he said. "I get a sense of satisfaction knowing that I am helping someone."
