08.09.2022 - It's World Literacy Day this Thursday, and on Voice of Change Lauren is celebrating this important day with Pieter Twine from the MySchool initiative, as well as Nal'iBali, our national reading for enjoyment organisation.

Some have called this a "reading crisis," so tune in to find out how organisations, businesses and campaigns are tackling this ongoing reality.
