Each year Peace Corps Volunteers in The Gambia organize a “Literacy Bike Trek.” It’s a traveling workshop for teachers to discuss and practice using printed materials in their lessons. In 2015 there were 6 different teams of volunteers that reached 29 different schools and 239 different teachers. During Peace Corps The Gambia’s Literacy Bike Trek project, volunteer Melissa Elie works with teachers on planning lessons around read-alouds and library utilization. - International Literacy Day
