adults and youth who have completed basic literacy courses for promoting
a culture of lifelong learning and development; |
|
To set up community libraries with sufficient
and relevant reading materials, magazines and newspapers for providing
further learning opportunities and knowledge of major national events,
problems and issues; and |
|
To provide a common platform for bringing communities,
NGOs and government representatives for rigorous debate and discussions
on community development and other areas of immediate interest. |
