| Literacy Awareness |
| The Nancy A. Herrin Foundation Inc. |
Nancy enjoyed various activities throughout her lifetime. As a homemaker she kept herself
active doing a variety of things from spending time with family and friends, cooking, and light
exercise such as going for walks. An activity she enjoyed the most was reading. Nancy
enjoyed reading a wide range of publications including the local paper, magazines, novels,
biographies and reading to young children.
Nancy may have had a learning disability but one thing she made obvious was her passion
for reading. She enjoyed reading about women's health issues, domestic violence/crime
(local and abroad), children's issues such as what's going on in the school systems and so
on. One of her main issues of interest included an important issue within the African
American community- a very high number of African Americans are illiterate and unable to
read. She had an interest in reading about various organizations and programs that help
children and adults.
The Nancy A. Herrin Foundation Inc. will support organizations who provide assistance to
adults and children who are in special programs that help by way of improving their reading
skills. In hopes of highlighting an important issue within the African American community
along with helping children and adults with various cultural ethnic backgrounds the
foundation will make pledge contributions to organizations and/or programs in Ohio that
raise the importance of literacy awareness.
You never know what important information your missing out on that can help you in your
daily living if you don't take the time to read. If you think life today is difficult- imagine living a
life were you didn't know how to read or write while trying to make a better life for yourself.
Several effective ways of communicating with one another includes reading and writing.
Together they convey powerful messages and words worth understanding.
