The
Bala Cynwyd-Narberth Rotary, through their involvement with
The Dictionary Project, donated 125 Dictionaries for all the
children at Wordsworth’s Residential Facility.
The Bala Cynwyd-Narberth Rotary
through The Dictionary Project provided 125 new dictionaries
for all of the children at Wordsworth’s Residential
Facility. The mission of The Dictionary Project, a non profit
organization is to provide dictionaries to all of the students
in the United States. A dictionary is an essential tool for
a quality education. Most children do not own a dictionary,
nor do they have access to one in their home. The goal of
the Dictionary Project is to improve the reading ability and
comprehension of all children, everywhere and to encourage
children to use dictionaries so that they will be able to
use the English language effectively. It improves everyone’s
vocabulary and it encourages children to learn more words.
Wordsworth is a not-for-profit
human services agency that serves over 1,500 children and
their families daily in Philadelphia, surrounding counties
and Harrisburg since 1970. The mission of Wordsworth is to
provide quality education, treatment and care to children
and families with special needs. The primary objective is
to help each client be successful in their family and community.
Wordsworth recognizes and respects the differing beliefs,
values, and attitudes of its clients and families. Wordsworth
maintains a skilled and dedicated staff to achieve its mission
with compassionate care.
